pollyannaish. This means they are a little delusional and don't see danger but they can also connect well with others and cooperate to do great things. Angry people are a little out of sorts so that they can defend their territory to the nth degree or grab little more territory. It is sad people who are the least delusional. You can't be sad all the time but every so often you should be, just so you can touch base with reality and put yourself on a better path to get what you need and dream of. Being sad will allow you to see your own weaknesses as well as how to better judge of other people, including your foes. Explains why the GOP keep their base ANGRY. They gain territory in the public sphere that way. Democrats need to get angry to they can fight back and take the country back too. They did with Occupy and it worked. Why we see the GOP trying to dial down the anger on the left by labeling them (being against the 1% buying government is class warfare). Labeling is a tactic psychopaths use to fool good people into changing their behavior & change their thinking on how they are acting. So Democrats you need to be angry, sad and happy in this elections season. Bring all your emotions to this election and you bring your A game.
