Marriage in the age of Trump and TV

National 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.
