We may see more of it over the next several days because, while it is titled “Conservatives Happier Than Liberals,” it is basically saying that the reason conservatives are happier is because they just don’t care about other people.

I don't care to make them do what I want.
I don't agonize with guilt because they are lazy or unlucky.
I don't seek out their approval or cry when they disapprove.

But I certainly don't hate them.

Leftists in general think they know better than everyone else about how they should live their lives or spend their wealth, or about their personal decisions.

True, a given lib may have more general knowledge than any given poor person,
but they damn well do not have more knowledge than all the poor people collectively do nor do they have the specific knowledge of each person’s situation to make decisions on their behalf.
