Gad Saad Says Decades of Research Show Conservatives Report Higher Happiness Than Progressives

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 9

Summary

  • Decades of research, Gad Saad said on Sean Hannity’s podcast, consistently find conservatives report higher happiness than liberals.
  • Saad attributed that gap to worldview: conservatives see a flawed but free society with values worth preserving, while progressives focus on racism, misogyny and other perceived injustices that fuel “existential angst.”
  • That outlook, he argued, leaves conservatives more content and optimistic, while progressives’ emphasis on social problems contributes to dissatisfaction and anxiety.
  • The interview also ranged across “suicidal empathy,” entitlement, socialism, high taxation and rising antisemitism, part of Hannity’s twice-weekly podcast launched on March 3.
