Politics Is Destroying American Friendships, And It’s Getting Worse
StudyFinds Analysis
In A Nutshell
More than a third of Americans (37%) report having lost at least one relationship due to political differences, including friendships, family ties, coworker relationships, and romantic partnerships, with most losing more than one.
Democrats were more likely than Republicans to report a political breakup, and among those who had one, 66% of Democrats said they were the ones who ended it, compared to 27% of Republicans.
Political breakups have surged since 2016 and may be accelerating: the 2024 election produced a higher breakup rate than the 2016 election in roughly half the time, though researchers caution the evidence is limited.
People who experienced political breakups held more hostile and distorted views of the other side, rating opposing voters nearly eight points colder on a 100-point scale and significantly overestimating how extreme opponents’ beliefs actually are.

Re: Dems can't handle having GOP friends
I have a few family members with severe TDS and I can tell that if we weren't family we'd never speak; all because of their hatred for the Orange Man.

You hardly ever post and you chime in for that?
