The below quote comes from a typical Chicken Little thread, aka TDS, TDS, Orange Man Bad, TDS, TDS, where the sky is always falling and it's always the opposition's fault, or will be soon, maybe. Pinky-Swear.

The FUGLY truth: 3,000 faces don’t lie—the left looks ugly and miserable…

...It may be one of the most surefire findings in all of social psychology, repeatedly replicated over almost five decades of study: American conservatives say they are much happier than American liberals. They also report greater meaning and purpose in their lives, and higher overall life satisfaction. These links are so solidly evidenced that, for the most part, modern social scientists simply try to explain them. They’ve put forth numerous possible explanations.

There are a couple clear contributors to point out first. Marriage tends to make people happier, and conservatives are more likely to be married. Religious belief is also linked to happiness, and conservatives tend to be more religious.

But these explanations don’t account for the entire gap, which equates to about a half-point on a four-point scale, a sizable happiness divide.

Social psychologist Jaime Napier, Program Head of Psychology at NYU-Abu Dhabi has conducted research suggesting that views about inequality play a role.

“One of the biggest correlates with happiness in our surveys was the belief of a meritocracy, which is the belief that anybody who works hard can make it,” she told PBS. “That was the biggest predictor of happiness. That was also one of the biggest predictors of political ideology. So, the conservatives were much higher on these meritocratic beliefs than liberals were.”...
Don't worry! Be Happy. For a change.
