Why Progressive democrats Are Angry and Unhappy : Whose Fault Is It?

The bottom line for the weak, uninformed, ignorant and hateful progressive socialist liberal democrats is everything that happens to them as a consequence of their bad decisions is someone else's fault.

This is a basic and fundamental law that is on the first page of the democrat play book to explains how to handle personal failure to perform and deliver in a civil society. Always believe there can never be a good reason for failure in your life without first realizing some outside force caused you to fail.

As the play book continues, get out front of your failure, join other failures and demand others come to your rescue by accusing them, mostly Republicans and Conservatives of being enemies of a free people who only think about themselves and making a profit, leaving the rest of the population to be driven into poverty forcing us to vote democrat.

It seems that the old adage of 'hate feeding on it's self' is at work here, in that personal hate for others and for themselves to mask failures, hate can never become less, it can only become worse and more destructive until it completely consumes the victim, leaving an unhappy and vengeful empty shell. 

Maybe many of the these students and politicians, let alone many common citizens marching in the streets to be rescued are they way they are due to genetics. Maybe they are born losers, always unhappy, angry and hateful, living a life in doom and sadness, and knowing there is little or nothing they can do to change their DNA.

A few escape this unhappy throng but many must languish in the darkness without relief from the pain of knowing they are failures at life itself.

Ignorant, vengeful, lacking self motivation for success, turn to hate for relief.
Why Leftists Are So Unhappy
Dennis Prager / /

One of the most important differences between the right and the left—one that greatly helps to explain their differences—is the difference between unhappy liberals and unhappy conservatives.

Unhappy conservatives generally believe they are unhappy because life is inherently difficult and tragic, and because they have made some unwise decisions in life. But unhappy liberals generally believe they are unhappy because they have been persecuted.

Ask unhappy leftists why they are unhappy and they are likely to respond that they are oppressed. This is the primary response given by unhappy leftist women, blacks, Latinos, and gays. For example, the more left-wing the woman, the more she will attribute her unhappiness to American society’s “patriarchy,” “sexism,” and “misogyny.” She therefore considers herself oppressed—and believing one is oppressed makes happiness all but impossible.

Likewise, the more left-wing the black, the more he or she will attribute his or her unhappiness to racism. And how is a black person living in a racist white country supposed to be happy?

If you have ever spent time with black conservatives, one of the first things you will notice is that they have a much happier disposition than left-wing blacks. I receive many calls to my radio show from black listeners. I almost always know immediately whether they are on the right or the left solely by their tone of voice. The cheerful black caller is almost always a conservative.

The left cultivates unhappiness by cultivating anger. It does this for the same reason wine growers cultivate grapes: no grapes, no wine. No anger, no left (and no Democratic Party). And angry people are not happy people.

Last week in Atlanta, I spoke for about 40 minutes to six randomly chosen black students from a local black college (for the upcoming film “No Safe Spaces” that Adam Carolla and I are making). Each one said he is oppressed.

When I told them I didn’t think blacks in America are oppressed, I sensed that they had never actually been told that by anyone. It was akin to telling physics students that gravity doesn’t exist. And when I added that I don’t think women are oppressed either, they were equally shocked.

Ask yourself this question: Is a black child likely to grow up happy if he is told by his parents, his teachers, his political leaders, and all his media that society largely hates him? Of course not. Raising a black child to regard America as racist and oppressive all but guarantees an unhappy black adult.

Let me offer a counterexample. My father, an Orthodox Jew, wrote his college senior thesis on the subject of anti-Semitism in America. In it he described quotas on Jews in college admissions, Jews prohibited from joining country clubs, Jews prohibited from law firms, etc.

In other words, my father fully acknowledged the existence of anti-Semitism in the United States. Yet he raised my brother and me in an America-loving home and told us that he believed American Jews are the luckiest Jews in history—because they are American. I therefore never knew what it was like to walk around thinking most of the people I met hated me. That alone contributed to my happiness.

Leftism makes one other major contribution to leftists’ unhappiness: it promotes ingratitude.

In my book on happiness (“Happiness Is a Serious Problem”) and my talks on happiness, I emphasize the central importance of gratitude to happiness. Without it, one cannot be happy. There isn’t one ungrateful happy person on Earth. Yet ingratitude toward America is central to the left’s worldview—further reinforcing the unhappiness of its adherents.

Unhappy Americans on the right blame the problems inherent to life, and they blame themselves. Unhappy Americans on the left blame America. That alone goes far in explaining the unbridgeable differences between right and left.
