'Trump Effect' Increasing Divorce Rate

POLITICAL DISAGREEMENTS SEEM TO BE FRONT
AND CENTER IN SOCIAL MEDIA.
SOME RESEARCH INDICATES THOSE
DISAGREEMENTS LEAD TO TURMOIL AND PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS AS
WELL.
THERE WAS A STUDY THAT LOOKED INTO HOW MANY COUPLES
HAVE EITHER GONE INTO SIGNIFICANT ARGUMENTS OR BROKEN
UP BECAUSE OF DISAGREEMENTS OVER THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
THAT
22% NUMBER FOR MILLENNIAL GIVES ME THE PERCEPTION THAT
MILLENNIAL'S ARE PAYING ATTENTION AND ARE INCREDIBLY
ENGAGED IN POLITICS.
THEY KEEP GETTING PAINTED AS THESE LAZY
BOMBS THAT DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.
NO, THEY RELY ON THE INTERNET
AND THAT'S A GOOD THING BECAUSE THEY ARE MORE INFORMED, MORE
ENGAGED, AND INVESTED IN POLITICS.
WHETHER OR NOT YOU
THINK IT'S A GOOD THING, THAT IS A DIFFERENT STORY, BUT I THINK
IT IS A GOOD SIGN THEY FEEL FIRED UP ABOUT THE ISSUES.
>>I THINK IT IS GOOD THEY ARE PAYING ATTENTION MORE THAN OTHER
FOLKS.
THEY GREW UP ON A MEDIA THAT IS DIFFERENT.
WHEREAS OLD
PEOPLE GREW UP ON MEDIA THAT WAS A BOX IN THEIR LIVING ROOM AND
GAVE THEM PROPAGANDA.
OF COURSE YOU GUYS ARE SMARTER.
YOU HAVE
MORE KNOWLEDGE AT YOUR DISPOSAL.
ON TO WHETHER PEOPLE SHOULD BREAK UP?
I THINK THEY SHOULD.
>>I TOTALLY AGREE.
>>NOT OVER MINOR DISAGREEMENTS.
TO MY WIFE AND I AGREE ON
EVERYTHING POLITICALLY?
OF COURSE NOT.
THAT IS NORMAL.
OTHER MEMBERS OF OUR FAMILY THAT VOTED FOR TRUMP?
YES.
CAN I
BREAK UP WITH THEM?
NO.
IT IS WHAT IT IS.
DON'T GO AND GET
INTO A FIGHT WITH YOUR GREAT UNCLE.
IT IS NOT GOING TO WORK.
YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHERE YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
IF IT IS YOUR
YOUNG COUSIN, TALK SENSE INTO THEM BY GIVING THEM FACTS OR
SEND THEM YOUNG TURKS VIDEOS.
I DON'T MEAN TO GIVE UP ON OLDER
AMERICANS.
I BELIEVE IN YOU.
BUT IF IT IS YOUR BOYFRIEND OR
GIRLFRIEND AND THEY THINK TRUMP IS AWESOME, THAT MEANS ñ IT CAN
ONLY LEAD TO TWO CONCLUSIONS.
I AM THE BAD GUY, I WILL SAY IT.
EITHER THEY ARE NOT THAT BRIGHT OR THEY ARE A BAD PERSON.
LET'S
MAKE IT REAL, LET'S SAY IT'S ABOUT TAX CUTS.
THEN YOU ARE A
BAD PERSON, NO.
IN TRUMP'S CASE, HERE IS A GUY WHO CLEARLY IS
ABSOLUTELY CLUELESS AND DANGEROUSLY SO.
HE IS A MORON.
BUT MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT.
THEY REALLY DON'T KNOW THE
DETAILS OF POLITICS THAT WE KNOW.
I'M NOT SAYING TO TRUMP
PERSON YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY PULL THE SHOE, BUT YOU SHOULD
HAVE A CONVERSATION.
IT IS TROUBLING IF THEY THINK IT IS
GREAT THAT OUR PRESIDENT GRABS WOMEN BY THE GENITALIA WITHOUT
THEIR PERMISSION.
THAT IS TROUBLING.
I DON'T WANT TO HANG OUT WITH A PERSON WHO THINKS ALL THAT
STUFF IS AWESOME.
>> I AGREE WITH YOU FOR THE MOST PART.
BUT THERE IS SOME CONTEXT
THAT WE SHOULD KEEP IN MIND.
IS YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER INVESTED
IN POLITICS?
HAS STRONG OPINIONS IN FAVOR OF TRUMP AND WHAT HE'S
DOING?
IN THAT CASE GET OUT OF THERE.
I COULDN'T DEAL WITH
THAT.
BUT IF YOU'RE DATING SOMEONE WHO IS NOT REALLY
INVESTED OR ENGAGED IN POLITICS AND JUST HAS AN UNINFORMED
OPINION ñ I FEEL LIKE THERE MIGHT BE HOPE.
>>OF COURSE.
I TOTALLY AGREE.
>>DON'T SHUTDOWN THE CONVERSATION AS SOON AS SOMEONE
SAYS A LITTLE BIT POSITIVE ABOUT TRUMP BECAUSE THOSE
CONVERSATIONS NEED TO BE HAD.
IF YOU HAD LIKE A RICHARD SPENCER
OR DAVID DUKE TYPE PERSON, GET OUT.
>>IF SOMEONE SAYS I AM WORRIED ABOUT HOW IMMIGRATION IS
AFFECTING WAGES, PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE CONVERSATION.
AGREE
TO DISAGREE.
BUT IF THEY SAY THAT PEOPLE COMING ACROSS THE
BORDER ARE CRIMINALS AND RAPISTS ñ GET OUT.
>> LET'S LOOK AT SOME OTHER STATS FROM THE STUDY.
>> MARRIAGE IS SERIOUS.
YOU HAVE KIDS, GIVE THEM
ANOTHER SHOT.
SEE IF YOU CAN TALK MORE ABOUT WHY MAYBE LATINOS ARE NOT
CRIMINALS, RAPIST, AND MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T PROFILE MUSLIMS.
THE
LIST GOES ON AND ON.
TRY TO WORK THAT STUFF OUT.
>>I AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT.
I JUST FEEL LIKE SOMEONE'S
POLITICAL OPINION, OR WHO THEY SUPPORT AS A POLITICIAN,
SUPPORTS WHO THEY ARE AS A PERSON.
IF YOU ARE IN A MARRIAGE
WITH A PARTNER THAT IS THE ANTITHESIS OF WHAT YOU ARE, YOU
MUST OF BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK.
WHY DID YOU MARRY THIS
PERSON IN THE FIRST PLACE?
BUT NONETHELESS, IF IT BECOMES A
CONSTANT POINT OF CONFLICT THEN YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR
YOU.
YOU GOT A DIVORCE, DIVORCE.
>> DIVORCE IS A HELLUVA THING, I DON'T KNOW.
IT IS NOT JUST THAT,
YOU ARE MARRIED TO THAT PERSON AND BUILD A LIFE TOGETHER.
BUT
IT IS A RUDE AWAKENING IF YOU WAKE UP ONE DAY AND YOU REALIZE
THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU ACTUALLY HAS TERRIBLE THOUGHTS ABOUT
OTHER PEOPLE ETC.
BUT MOST OF THE TIME THEY JUST DON'T
KNOW.
TAKE A BREATHER, SEND THEM YOUNG TURKS VIDEOS, AND IT WILL
ALL WORK OUT.
