Liberals are more likely to be maladjusted wet blankets: Here’s the proof

By Eddie Scarry

Liberals and Democrats will never know the absolute crippling anxiety experienced by right-wingers and otherwise normal people in social gatherings whenever politics or even mildly debatable topics come up. Although the average person would rather skip an argument and keep the party going with more pleasant subjects, liberals and Democrats readily leap at the opportunity to tell you exactly how they feel, and, sorry, but if it’s a problem, get lost.

What they have to say ruins the mood? Oh well! If you don’t like it, you’re wrong and, worse, a bad person who should feel very, very uncomfortable having shown up in the first place. And that’s a best-case scenario. If you were to actually dispute what a liberal says, even in good nature, look forward to suffering while the bitter nag gives you disgusted glances the rest of the evening and holds the incident against you for the rest of your life.

By contrast, right-leaning Republicans and independents tend to keep their mouths on mute when in mixed company. It’s preciously naïve because it’s not enough. Leftists are miserable by nature, even if some of them are better at coping with it than their most insufferable peers.

This isn’t a joke or an insult. It’s proven. The way you have probably felt around these people, particularly within the last six years, is not in your head. It’s a concrete reality borne out by endless data.

Scholars at the University of Florida and University of Toronto published an extensive study in 2011 titled in part “Conservatives Are Happier Than Liberals, But Why?” That paper was based on yet several other studies surveying the attitudes of American adults on life and how those lined up with their political ideologies.
