Republicans and conservatives are generally happier because we negate grievance driven politics and agendas.

You wouldn’t know that from reading FR lately.


Exactly. They bitch and whine like liberals.

I think this is an important study.

Republicans (probably conservatives moreso) are happier because of the simple grounding in their lives. It’s simple stuff people, Republicans/conservatives believe in something real: Their God, their Family, their country.

When your foundation is reality, you suffer fewer unintended consequences.

Gratitude is greatly underrated. Life is good and we are the ones who know that!

“The vast majority of evangelical conservative Christians tend to be Republicans. It is the believers, IMHO, who have every reason to be happy. They have read the final chapter in world history!”

Amen!
