Talking Politics is Riskier Than Ever

Talking politics might be riskier than ever with 71% of Americans saying they’ve had at least one political discussion that’s harmed a relationship. Some say at least one discussion involved “verbal attacks, insults, or name-calling,” causing a lack of respect as well as unfriending on social media. 38% have avoided someone at work, or in social situations and 18% of us have dodged at least one of our relatives around the holidays in order to avoid politic differences.
