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.

Can you give me a specific problem that is not based in reality that republicans discuss?

Two from this week:

The new non-existent link between Tylenol during pregnancy / childhood and autism.

The 10ml of liquid in vaccines is too much liquid. This supposedly causes babies to swell up like a balloon and get autism.
