Why politics tend to lean toward debate
Sep. 9, 2018The day after Donald Trump became president, I was walking near Turlington Plaza and heard a commotion. There was a large group of people, somewhere between 100 and 150, circled around a few individuals wielding megaphones near the Turlington Potato. One megaphoned man wore a “Make America Great Again” cap, and the other three or four who stood on the opposite side of the circle were evidently anti-Trumpers. Some people in the crowd held posters with witty political jabs or slogans. The rest were recording the spectacle for Snapchat or Instagram.

Marriage in the age of Trump and TV
By Stephan Chamberlin | July 30, 2018National politics in the U.S. tend to drive people to different ends of the political spectrum. We can’t help but be drawn into the cyclone of outrage. It draws in everyone with a connection to TV or Twitter with a siren song — the talking heads on cable news essentially say, “Don’t worry. Don’t re-examine your position on immigration. Your instincts are right. Instead, get mad at these other guys.” What you may realize is that your associates and loved ones have radically different views. Stick to your position, but know that making a political point isn’t worth a ruined friendship.
