The Pursuit of Happiness

926/22

Somewhere along the way, in the Obama/Biden years, we lost being happy. I’m struck by how unhappy people on the left are and those on the right are becoming. Our government was supposed to facilitate we citizens being happy but increasingly, they are doing the opposite. Rather than promoting comity, they foment violence. Watching MSNBC, you would think that we are one gunshot away from the second civil war. The only “happy” thing Mika can talk about is women’s empowerment; and even then, she doesn’t smile! Where are the days when you enjoyed no violent crime story? The days where the lead story of the day was the stock market rose 3%, or an eight-year-old caught a 220-pound catfish.

Alas, in order to overturn the world, you must break it. Marxist revolution is clear that no good can come from a happy place. The ignorant masses that now populate our Democrat voting bloc, have no clue about the vagaries of socialism and communism. Totalitarian regimes like Iran, China, Russia, Venezuela and North Korea are not enough for them to resist the temptation of neo slavery brought on by a false promise of providing anything and everything you want. They scream, “I studied LGBTQ+ issues and darn it, you owe me a living wage!” They think that will make them happy but if not, they’ll come up with something else they must have and then, they’ll be happy…. until they’re not.

Therein lies the failings of the left. No appeasement is enough. When the 1964 Civil Rights law was enacted, we thought we were righting a wrong. Instead, we opened up the spigot for a never-ending list of wrongs to be addressed. Everyone was now aggrieved and yes, unhappy! The line of the “oppressed” and “disadvantaged” is getting longer by the day. With compliant megaphones aka, major and social media, the more unhappy you are, the more likely you will find a way to getting greased.

Such is the pursuit of happiness in the USA today. You have to be unhappy to get happy.
