A recent study by researchers at the University of Padua and the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) has revealed that political differences between partners can significantly increase the risk of separation. Using long-term data from UK couples, the researchers found that those with different party preferences were substantially more likely to separate than those with the same political beliefs. The risk is particularly high when there are differences of opinion on Brexit.
On the stupid front, for people not into politics they don’t get the same amount of facts as you to judge things, because they don’t care. So really there may not be that they are very stupid or willingly ignorant, os just, once again that politics does not play that big of a role in their lives.
And there is also a punishment vote. There is people who vote one party to punish other.
We tend to be more kind of the wrongs of our political option. But for some people they are unforgivable.
I suppose that some people would acknowledge that trump is bad, really bad, but for some reason they may think that Biden or the Democratic party is even worse.
Here that happens a lot and it’s going to happen in the next election. It’s not as much as people supporting one party, more like being really against the other party.
Once again, not American, and the places I frequent online are all left leaning. But I would really love to have calm conversations with some trump voters to really know and understand their reasoning. There’s a big chance that not all of them are either blatantly stupid or blatantly evil.
I also like to do the exercise of putting myself in as much perspectives as possible. For instance for truly fascist I’m a dangerous communist that want to do a lot of nasty things. That’s not true, so I always try to think if the things I think about other people may also not be true.
