Why Liberals Are More Likely to Be Unhappy People

[longknife]

Before reading the article, I would guess it's because they can't or won't do anything for themselves - always counting on others to take the lead.

Scholars on both the left and right have studied this question extensively, and have reached a consensus that it is conservatives who possess the happiness edge. Many data sets show this. For example, the Pew Research Center in 2006 reported that conservative Republicans were 68 percent more likely than liberal Democrats to say they were “very happy” about their lives. This pattern has persisted for decades. The question isn’t whether this is true, but why.

Makes sense. Conservatives like to be safe in their traditions and unchanging conditions, while liberals want more. Back in the day conservatives wanted to stay comfortable in the cave, while liberals wanted to venture out.

 

[kiwiman127]

Actually, who's happy and who isn't depends in what party is holding the presidency.
When Obama was president, the right was crying and whining constantly and liberals were happy.
Now Trump is president and the right and the left have switched places.
It's a historical fact. Thus, the thread doesn't have a long-term point.
Enough said.

and after the 10th liberal got eaten by a sabre tooth tiger, we then knew it was safe to come out.

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

Usually Liberals fell like they are the victims and that the Conservatives are their oppressors.
Victimhood is a very powerful position to take and it absolves the person of any responsibility.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Leftists (not true liberals) have a victim hood mentality and in turn they feel oppressed which leads to their gloom....then they try to bring everyone else down to their miserable level

Conservatives always get dragged out eventually. And progress continues, goal posts shift, society advances.

It sounds like you are confusing Liberals with welfare recipients. And even with welfare recipients you have a large part that are disabled and yes some that are entitled “takers”. But back to Liberals, you don’t seem to be accounting for the millions of self sufficient and upper class liberals who are giving more that they are taking. The ones who believe in giving back to their communities and who find happiness in servicing others. Sass was right in defining Lefists as different than liberals, you should learn the difference as well

Yeah when Obama was in office, he wanted to turn this country into a 3rd world shithole.. Liberals were unhappy not enough was done.
Trump wants to make America great again, and is doing it, libtards are furious, and the right is loving it.

Big fucking difference there bud...

I have heard Liberals boast about their investments and then complain about rich people and corporations.
They believe that they are the victims of the "rich" and capitalism.

Nothing posting a simple minded lie in the face of proven facts.

So do you just make shit up and delude yourself into thinking you are right? I mean couldn’t I use your same debate style and say something ridiculous like, Trump hates all minorities and is trying to turn our country into an elitist white nation where only Russian hookers are allowed to enter as long as they pee on us and themselves. And wouldn’t you shake your head at that comment and find it as baseless and empty as I’m finding yours?

Some probably do feel that way as the ideology of liberalism is about personal freedom. Progressives and Leftists are for more government control which it sounds like you keep confusing with Liberals

The progs/regressives, and Commies hijacked the term liberal, just like the Radical Fundamentalist Muslims hijacked Islam. Until you liberals get your side back under control, you will be bunched into Liberals, whether you like it or not. God I hate liberals.....

Haha, your rebuttal is the ol “No you do” argument?! Are in grade school? Yes you make shit up “Obama wanted to turn our country into a 3rd world shithole” is exactly you making shit up. I called you on it by giving a ridiculous example of an arguement in the same lazy and false style as you do. So when you response by saying I’m making shit up, yes, exactly, because I’m mocking what you do!
