I've been following this guy on Instagram. He's pretty funny, smart, and gives a Trumpers a lot of crap.

Stupid people tend to be happier, yes it's true.

There has been lots of studies on this, and part of the issue is how do you get an honest rating of someone's happiness?

Here is an (10 year old) article from Time about and how studies show it's not an easy thing to judge.

Summary:

Self-Reported Happiness: Conservatives often report higher levels of happiness compared to liberals.

Research Studies: New studies indicate that conservatives may judge their lives and circumstances more positively than liberals.

Emotional Language: Analysis of transcripts from Congress shows that liberals use more positive words than conservatives.

Genuine Happiness: Studies on smiling intensity suggest liberals display more genuine happiness.

Impact on Behavior: Conservatives have a more confident style of self-assessment, which might contribute to their reported happiness.

The research suggests that the way conservatives and liberals perceive and report their happiness might be influenced by their self-assessment styles.

Are they happier? Because they sure do complain a lot and get enraged over the simplest of issues.

get enraged over the simplest of issues.

Those issues are not even real most of the time and they're still raging mad. 😂

Love Steve. Been following him for years.

"Fuck you, got mine " exemplified .

More like blissfully ignorant. My experience with conservatives is that they like to sweep problems under the rug and pretend everything to be fine.

I realized it's very much this when I asked my mother (born in 1961) if she had never taken a civics class, and she answered no. She actually believed(s?) the president creates laws. I don't know what she thought congress was.

ahh yes family values like bailing Andrew Tate out.

Not to mention worshipping a thrice-married sexual predator
- What, you're going to attack him just because a judge had to clarify in court that he's a rapist? Or because he was impeached for illegally using campaign finances to pay off a porn star he had sex with while his wife was at home with his newborn? Sheesh, I guess no one measures up to your impossible standards!
Andrew Tate and his brother have probably, uh, you know...
- Raped, incest, murder? At this point I wouldn't be surprised at any of it.

Privilege. Especially white privilege. It's easier to be happy when you're benefiting from the invisible suffering of others.

Ignorance is bliss, and to persist with conservatism requires embracing an ever expanding level of wilful ignorance.

Conservatives are racist nazis that have the IQ of an inbred redneck

I'm a redneck. Not inbred more than normal, as far as I know. I think I'm purty smart sometimes. Since you and I are 50th cousins, at worst, you've got some redneck in you.

Don't be like the fascists. Don't get lazy in your thinking. Our antagonists are human, some are very intelligent.

To defeat their ideology, we must view them accurately. Otherwise, how will we anticipate what they will do?

I've noticed that conservatives cant feel empathy. They only feel sympathy. This is why they don't understand any injustice until if effects them personally. This is the root psychological reasoning behind the leopards eating faces memes.

The richest man in the world, who has only ONCE paid anything approaching a 20% tax rate and crowed like he was a PHILANTHROPIST when he did, is removing all social programs that are a safety net for the poorest and most desperate among us.

Empathy? Sympathy? They are vampires.
- I prefer to call them Ghouls.

Well, they do say ignorance is bliss.

They must be euphoric.

"We're happier than libruls"

Must be the whole "Ignorance is bliss" as well

I'm pretty sure that they are "happier" is not a factual statement.
- Was going to say, most that I know seem pretty miserable and looking for someone to blame or hate
Like a cop beating up a suspect they're... happy.

Lack of empathy and utterly selfish. It enables these trash humans to take others rights and believe the lie that doing it is a good thing.

Yeah I was going to say to stupid to know any better.

People these days seem happiest when ostracizing, excluding, and destroying another's life just because they are different.

Empathy is dead, because if you show empathy it's grounds for expulsion. Anyone still capable of empathy has been ejected from society by the twitter mob over the past decade. The only people left are callous bullies.

I wouldn’t praise Hofstetter too much. His comedy is horrendous and he relies pretty much entirely on bringing in paid hecklers. Every time he shows up on PKA, he is not just unfunny but he kills all the enjoyment of the episode.

Sorry to go to Reddit here, but here's Hofstetter on Hofstetter:

- No shame in ~8 year old Reddit threads. It’s where all the organic content is!
The "paid hecklers" accusation again.

Ahem are YOU being paid? It seems a lot of people just don't like him.

I've never read Flowers for Algernon.

I don't understand why you said that, but you should. The short story is very quick.
