Conservatives More Likely To Be Happier - Liberals More Likely To Live Longer - Quanity or Quality.

I am okay with you being wrong as well.

Wow..you don’t sound very happy; sorta snarky there like most conserve-hate-ives.

Typical.

How you perceive things doesn’t mean they are true, you are void of facts so you make things up to try to pretend to be right. Typical.

A recent thread caught my attention on liberals living longer than conservatives, which may have more to do with where you live than your personal politics. There is also research that conservatives are much happier than liberals.

Why Conservatives Are Happier Than Liberals

Who is happier about life — liberals or conservatives? The answer might seem straightforward. After all, there is an entire academic literature in the social sciences dedicated to showing conservatives as naturally authoritarian, dogmatic, intolerant...

So which begs the question is better Quality or Quantity?

It would be interesting to get into the nuts and bolts as to why liberals live longer (I'll just assume you're right on that). But, if true, I would rather have a good quality of life. If you're living longer but aren't happy (liberals are more mentally unfit), then what's the point? It's like asking if you would rather live only until 21 but be extremely happy or would you rather live to 100, being a vegetable most of the time.

Then you are the happiest guy I know.

Well, part of it may be that the right-leaning work for a living and the left lives off the efforts of the working man.....In other words the left are parasites that end-up killing the host.

I think you would be shocked to learn how many MAGAs are living off the government dole.

Do you know why MTG parted ways with Trump, other than the Epstein Files?

Healthcare subsidies.

 

[g5000]

Not according to research, you are more likely to see a happy conser, not a happy liberal.

Every single day, MAGAs are fed a steady diet of fauxrage by Dear Leader and the MAGA media.

Every.

Single.

Day.

Quantifying longevity is easy.

Quantifying happiness is hard. How does one do so objectively?

Same can be said of Democrats, Again, dispute the research all you want, the study has been going on since 1972 and every year they find the same.

Also, how many protests have we had in the last 26 years and they happen primarily when a Republican is president, we have no kings protests, with millions of liberals attending. We have occupy wall st, ANTIFA, BLM but according to the left the only one that threatened the collapse of the whole United States of America and that was J6, with a couple thousand people, not millions but it is insane. I have been to one it was OWS decades ago and to me it was pointless.

Most conse don’t have the time or money to protest every thing under the sun. What is your outrage today?

Read the research, it seems easy to me, I know I don’t worry about politics as much as my in-laws, there life revolves on how bad the GOP.

It's far from easy. All you really have is self reporting. That's not objective.

The sad truth about happiness scales

You might feel sad after looking closer at studies about happiness. That’s because an emotion that’s easy to experience is immensely difficult to measure, says Purdue University economist Timothy Bond.

I don't think you've really thought about this.

I posted a link, lots of studies in it but you like being unhappy and deny, you go for it I am happy with my life and if you are then no big deal, right?

From your link:
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.

Not very scientific to say you can’t ask a question.

Self reporting happiness is not objective in the least.

How many marches and demonstrations have we seen in the last 30 years? Environmental rights artists, demonstrating, PETA, then you have OWS demonstrations, abortion rights protests, the women with the vagina hats protesting, BLM protests/riots, millions of them, every Republican president elected protests, the No Kings protests, tons of women protesting, women not sleeping with men protests, it has been hundreds and hundreds of protests, every year. The right had the million man March a peaceful protest and then a thousand people in J6 that the left over dramatizes it as an attempt to over throw the democracy of à nation! Talk about over dramatic. The left is a bunch of whiney unhappy people that like to ***** about anything. Then you want to tell me they are happy? Actions speaks louder than words. lol!

Tell why Michelle isn’t happy, Hillary looks mad, Greta Thunberg is always angry, the mayor of Seattle is definitely not a happy person.

You see....a happy person would just “live and let live”....your constant attempt to prove that you are correct speaks to a personality disorder to where you insist that everyone agrees with you. And I bet you will try to force your view on everyone who disagrees with you on this thread. I’ll be watching.

I am really happy if you disagree with me. I don’t want to convince you the evidence speaks for itself.

And yet here you are sill trying to get me to agree with you. You really just can’t let it go can you? Classic narcissm.

I think both Conservatives and Liberals can be equally miserable. I don't think it is fair to judge someone's length of life based on their political views, it reeks of partisanism to a certain extent, however I will say that for those who are raging liberals who go so far to the point of mutilating themselves, they won't have a good quality of life.

Was that before or after Charlottesville where you guys ran over and killed a woman, injured dozens more, beat a black guy to an inch of his life, and held that Third Reich style tiki-torch parade chating “Jews Will Not Replace Us?”
