Listening to this now, working and found this ironically this AM...


"Stuart may be at a loss, and dumfounded, but it actually makes a lot of sense when you think about it. Research repeatedly shows that right-wingers are “happier” than left-wingers. Why? The latest study suggests it’s largely based on feelings of “victimization” and economic factors. Studies like this have also shown that left-wing women are really unhappy, frequently grappling with mental health issues. But really, you don’t need a formal research study to point that out, right?"

The second video link repeats some of the first, but is interesting.
