Amusingly, NPR also polled people’s pessimism. “Among those most pessimistic were Democrats, white women with college degrees” —AWFLs— “independents, and Latinos.” Optimistic groups included Republicans, Christians (especially Evangelicals), people who don’t live in cities, and stupid white people (“whites without degrees”). I think it’s become pretty obvious that, if you want to be happy, stay away from college, the donkey party, and anxious women with gender studies degrees. Embrace God instead.

Hey, don’t blame me. That’s what NPR’s poll said.

That's great.

I'd add: Demoralization is the key to subversion. Refuse to think it can't be great again. So much can be fixed just by fiddling with a few things. Or throwing a few Reds out of a few helicopters
