Today, Nate Silver rolled out an interesting set of numbers this afternoon.
OK, not even sure where to begin with this one! But here's an attempt at a deeper dive at understanding why conservatives are so much happier than liberals. Mostly looking at how persistent the gap is in survey data rather than extrapolating too much. pic.twitter.com/qV59d3kxuJ

Conservatives are happier across the board than Liberals. No matter the age, race, sex, etc., conservatives are consistently happier. This honestly comes as no surprise to me. Every time I am around people who are aligned with Leftist causes or a liberal mindset, without fail, they are angry, bitter and very dissatisfied with the world around them. It is never a good experience.
Because being Liberal is a DISEASE - you can never be happy https://t.co/JzLZ2JZz6f

Conservatives are happier than liberals across the board. That’s not just politics - it’s culture, mindset, and mental health. The 'therapy generation' is struggling to thrive. #TheTherapyTrap #TherapyNation @FoxNews @NateSilver538 https://t.co/LI3JmcIpDx

I believe there is a place for therapy. I believe it is best handled through a local church or a minister in most cases. I believe there is a real danger in going to the wrong therapist. Too many times, they encourage young people to create distance from their origin family, or counsel couples who could make their marriage work, to divorce.
It is literally being proven that if you simply have a conservative political mindset, regardless of every other demographic possible, that odds are you are a happier human.

Conservatives believe in preserving the family and participation in church and community. These attitudes almost guarantee a better life mindset.
This is fascinating! It generally follows my interactions with conservatives and liberals.... https://t.co/rUENNISLh5

Modern progressivism is based on neurotic grievances. That’s it, that’s all you need to know. From that flows every single other observation https://t.co/FJoBM5tI31

Leftists are proud of their 'mental illnesses' and many medications. They are also fond of sharing every little 'trauma' they've ever experienced to account for their many issues. This is the opposite of healthy behavior.

The interesting question here is if happiness causes conservatism or conservatism causes happiness. Probably a bit of both. Obviously happiness isn't determining race or age, but the relationship between political affiliation and happiness seems a bit unclear to me. https://t.co/YOMoyMWRLz

Get married, have kids, work hard, worship God and you'll most likely live happy. People are always trying to find some other magic secret to life but really that's it. https://t.co/7ROoRhgZoi

It's almost like God has given us the blueprint since the beginning. We were made to worship him and go create families. When we stay in His plan, satisfaction flows. What a concept!
