Study finds what conservatives already knew...they're happier than liberals
Conservatives don’t normally pay much attention to fancy psychobabble, but this is a worthy exception. Some nerdlinger social scientists in America have discovered that people with Right-wing views tend to be happier than those with Left-wing views – even if the party that best represents them is out of power...
Why are conservatives happier? The research found that Right-wingers tend not to blame their problems on other people – so they refuse to be depressed by victimhood. This makes a lot of sense. When you accept that you are your own master, then you feel in command of your own destiny and, so, more inclined to address your crises rather than bury them in political melodrama.

""People living in more liberal countries are happier on average than those in less liberal countries"
Bronco apparently will be moving to Europe
where all the research for this was done
"The researchers analyzed surveys collected from 1,134,384 people between 1970 and 2002 in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Denmark, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Finland, Sweden, Austria and Norway. The surveys were representative samples of each country’s population. This data set is part of a series of public opinion surveys conducted on behalf of the European Commission. .."

I went through these 5 stages back in the summer when I realized that the next president was going to be either Winkin or Stinkin.

You don't recall the Tea Parties that were held in 2009?
There was an election in 2009?

Don't be obtuse. There was an election in 2008. There were protests in 2009 by Republicans. They weren't protesting election results, but that didn't stop them from hurling racial and homophobic slurs, calling to see Obama's papers among other things. That is what klean is referring to.

There were lawsuits and conspiracy theories (and the President-elect was conspirator-in-chief) that Obama wasn't eligible to be president.
'
If McCain or Romney won the popular vote by 2 million votes, you better believe Republicans would have bitched about that.
And, when Trump thought Romney won the popular vote.........

So the fringe was upset. They always will be. The difference this time is that it's your run of the mill person. Cripes, my county officials staged a rally to protest Trump.

It's more than "run of the mill persons." This time, it's educated people who should know better.

Maybe that's why the main stream dems are participating in the shenanigans this time.

The point is that when you win your party's nomination and the general election... you are mainstream.

Obama showed the way
Get after these folks by using the IRS as a weapon
I see in the picture above that Trump has a pen...just needs a phone to cancel the last 8 years and make BHO disappear.

Worst president ever said what?
Obama to Trump: Don’t overuse “executive actions” (What a hypocrite
Hot Air.com ^ | December 19, 2016 | ED MORRISEY
Do as I say, not as I do. Barack Obama sat down with NPR’s Steve Inskeep for one of his final in-depth interviews as president, and decided to offer his successor a little advice. Try working with Congress, and avoid unilateral executive action, says the man who should know:
“Keep in mind, though, that my strong preference has always been to legislate when I can get legislation done,” Obama said from the Cabinet Room in the White House. “In my first two years, I wasn’t relying on executive powers, because I had big majorities in the Congress and we were able to get bills done, get bills passed. And even after we lost the majorities in Congress, I bent over backwards consistently to try to find compromise and a legislative solution to some of the big problems that we’ve got — a classic example being immigration reform, where I held off for years in taking some of the executive actions that I ultimately took in pursuit of a bipartisan solution — one that, by the way, did pass through the Senate on a bipartisan basis with our help. …
“So my suggestion to the president-elect is, you know, going through the legislative process is always better, in part because it’s harder to undo,” he said.

Obama's approval rating is 57%
Trump's is 43%
And a democratic socialist would have mopped the floor with Trump if the DNC hadn't rigged the party.
