Would be interesting to see happiness segmented by Democrats/ Republicans.

I would speculate Republicans are wildly happier when "their team is 'winning'" and Democrats would have a boost in happiness with Democrats in power, but nowhere near the swing of Republicans. Democrats, IMO, are more aware of the *real* current and longterm problems the US faces while Republicans listen to whatever Republicans say the "problems" are - "problems" that are too often very outlandish and not based in reality.

Republicans routinely discuss:

- Trans people being an issue.

- Gun problems being an issue of the person holding the gun or gun related deaths being a necessary evil - evidence from practically every country on earth with strict gun rules shows otherwise. Less guns = less gun deaths full stop.

- Climate change being fake, chemtrails, Geoengineering, weather manipulation.

- Science, particularly medical research being fake. Covid vaccines being harmful, etc.

- "The great replacement theory"

- White genocide in countries around the world

- Jan 6th not being an atrocity.

- Ending non-existent wars.

Among many others.

> Trans people being an issue.

The transcript of Charlie Kirk's last words are particularly telling on this point. He was pushing the idea that trans people are to blame for mass shootings when they were < 1% of total mass shooters over the last ten years.

You want just the government to have the guns? You must be 3 years old. Also I don't mind having less guns - just tie it to your political affiliation - left leaning? No Guns.

- Climate change being fake, chemtrails, Geoengineering, weather manipulation.

Climate change was fake, it was 100% abandoned when Leftists started burning Teslas- the number one EV in America. Sounds like it was fake the entire time. Chemtrails are real, they are actually seeding clouds in an experiment that's not fully tested.

- Science, particularly medical research being fake. Covid vaccines being harmful, etc.

Lookup vaccine injury - it's a huge mess.

- "The great replacement theory"

Yeah, importing lots of people causing the housing prices to go up, also the non-stop pushing of agendas that reduce western women from wanting to have babies. A lot of that is paid for.

- White genocide in countries around the world

It's pretty much one country - south africa, but you know that.

- Jan 6th not being an atrocity.

J6 was an atrocity, it was mostly orchestrated by 300 FBI agents that worked for the leftist side of the deep state.

- Ending non-existent wars.

I don't know what you mean by this one, ending wars isn't good in your opinion I guess.

I don't really care if you think none of this is real - just about every 5 minutes in the last 4 years under Biden we found out something was 100% fake and was motivated by pure malice against conservatives. Besides - we're winning. #walk-away
