Two weeks from an election that has fueled more bitter divisions than America has seen in decades, it feels harder than ever to interact with people who have vastly different views. And as much as we might want to avoid these folks, it’s not always possible—or desirable—especially.
Tell them they are wrong. I am tired of this touchy-feely garbage. Who wants to be with a person who cannot think logically?
I have friends who have different views than myself. We don’t talk politics. We hashed all that out a while back. I won’t change their minds. They won’t change mine.
Maybe start by not feeling the need to sway a friend's opinion? Do you need a degree to understand basic human emotions?
I found liberal men too spineless, lacking morals, usually not well employed but lots of opinions on how the world should be. I don’t think they would make a good husband so I just swipe left
Democrats explained: Dunning–Kruger effect.....
ALL US media are controlled by leftists so they are trying SO hard to smear Trump in order to mislead public. Don't be fooled by them.
America’s character is on the ballot. Trump’s weak leadership, incompetence and lies about COVID, immigration, healthcare... killed Americans and separated Latin families. VoteHimOut2020
First thing is to grow up
I read until she said psychoanalysis. It's not worthy when they base their speech on pseudoscience.
How about you just accept differences of opinion, behave like adults and be nice to each other
I think we should return to the rules of polite society. You don’t talk about politics or religion.
Have lots of bizarrely uniformed friends that love trump. Fascinating to hear the insane absurdity of their latest right wing disinformation. How good people believe such nonsense is a great psychological study
L’individualisme prôné durant le 20e siècle, résulte sur une société de capricieux qui pensent tous avoir raison. Voltaire disait : même si nous ne sommes pas d’accord , je mourrais pour que vous puissiez continuer de vous exprimer. C’est la DÉMOCRATIE .😘
Life will be boring if we all think the same, act the same and behave the same. If both people Keep an open mind and heart it will just be fine.
It is indeed a good strategy to not discuss or talk politics with lovers/family members. But hopefully there should be better way to handle it. Might be the task for psychologists.
Good advice! I tend to avoid talking politics whenever possible. I don’t even like to talk about COVID anymore. I find those discussions go nowhere fast.
My first question to ask on matching app. Wish there was a filter for it. ( not whether you are conservative or liberal. It’s that you support that person which makes it impossible to expect any sorts of friendship or relationship )
I've banned my wife's family from my house (easy right now but still), it's just easier to let them hate me than engage with them and potentially end up murdering them
Differences are normal, but a responsible adult should be for the sake of the next generation.
There is an ethical divide between the left and right. One can not be true to oneself and be in a deep relationship with someone who has vastly different value system. Being cordial to acquaintances fine but morality is grounded differently on each end of th political spectrum
Break up/divorce. Trump supporters should remain celibate.
Oh stop. We just send each other articles. Complicated things usually have many aspects.We learn from each other, unless you are going purely on emotion.
JeanneSafer how different are your political views?
just don’t meet people they just to use you anyways or frame you.
We talk about the beautiful fall weather and the heavy traffic in the town center. That’s enough for a good visit!
It’s about more than just political views when they reflect your character and values as a person. Basically she’s making an argument for cognitive dissonance.
Please...just for shits and grins....please watch a show on Amazon Prime called Plot against the President.....And tell me it’s not scary as hell
Advice... Just get along and understand that people will always have different opinions.
wonder why
“Honey, I know this is unsettling but we can’t let a silly thing like politics get in the way of our relationship.”
It used be 'just politics', but it ain't anymore. It's about what is decent human behavior, what does 'nation of laws' mean, what is racism, what is a just society and economy, what does science offer mankind? The trumpist has dangerously stupid ideas of all of this and more
someone replied 'This article must be written for the liberals. Ok, moving on, next story.'---the point of article is ok, but replies indicate that hostility is more on the side of conservatives--well, actually, when you force conservation of traditions, ya got to be nasty
Equality is not a political issue, it’s a human rights issue so don’t conflate those two. Your belief that you are superior to me because of melanin is not a political disagreement. So, no we’re not politically divided. On taxes, foreign relations, sure. Not on equality.
It's really hard to talk to Nazis. It's a thing. Stop being Nazis who support a man who steals children and says things that get non-whites murdered, and conversation will become easier overnight. Trust me on this one. Stop being Nazis - key part.
theclassicfon qué opinas al respecto?
My vote is avoid the topic. You can’t dissuade people from their values.
realDonaldTrump is a divider asking for re-election in the UNITED state of America! That makes no sense
There is a mental and social issue with Americans today. It needs major overhaul in what human is.
It’s not hard. Just avoid overconsumption of social media and respect other people’s views. It’s actually quite easy.
hubermanlab talks about an experiment from the 60th that shows that the highest levels of dopamine come from frustration and mild anger that result from hearing information that confirms our perspective, particularly if it’s “us against them”. Our brains fail us.
Suppressed voter argument is getting stale.
M_Zamecnik Super 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The media caused this divide, with their lies and hate the last 4 years.
It's easy to talk about for most people, news media sows division as always because they are about drama not everyone is a screeching extremist looking to burn things and find people to yell at for disagreeing. Social media is not a good example of normal people especially.
It was tough b4 pandemic...divisive rhetoric has to end
Good question.
Sweet lady Bitcoin! She is kill-ing-it! I love the Bitcoin supporters too. 'Sophisticated intellectuals' and 'Futurists' were two of my favorite descriptions! Let's go BITCOIN! 🔥
Who cares fuck politics
Give a fuck about it and focus on what matters! Your loved ones not stupid strangers on the power
Tried all of this, decided he was toxic and cut him out of my life. It’s like Trump in the 1st debate is happening at your Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone is miserable because he won’t “shut up, man.” Why do we all have to have a crappy time because he’s a jerk?
It’s no secret that 2020 has been tough on interpersonal relationships. The global pandemic has limited our ability to socialize, and now the current political climate is also impacting how we date.
People need to wake up and stop letting their whole identity be their political views. Ever heard of divide and conquer?
Not even going to try to read it. You (Well, I) NEVER, EVER discuss politics, religion, or money in public.
It is quite difficult when Trump supporters are basically arguing for more corruption, authoritarianism, racism and incompetence.
'Is it even possible to sway someone’s opinion?' You know, maybe this ^^ is why people don't want to be around you.
Since when has ignoring a problem made it go away? Avoiding the conflict doesn't make it go away, it only makes it worse!
This stood out..'And there are many things that are more important than politics: how the person treats you; if someone rejoices for your success and grieves for your troubles and backs you up; if you enjoy your time together. These are the things that count.'
Why do we even need psychologists when we have Bible? Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.(1 Corinthians 1:25 KJV)

Half of my family is divided. Learn to get along and embrace differences. Big babies!
The ability to have civil discourse is critical for a functioning democracy.
Sucker punch a dem.
