People are happy in their own lives. It’s your life that upsets them.
For those who think the news media has no influence:
Per Gallup, in every aspect of their personal lives, from work to family to community, health, financial security all of it, the vast majority of Americans are satisfied. They’re just upset about what’s going on with all the other people. I think that says something profound about our culture war. It’s about what’s happening “out there” with “the other” not here where I am.
