Don’t let politics ruin your relationships
I’m not typically the type of individual who believes there ought to be legislation for everything, but I must admit: If we could at least come to a consensus to never initiate a discussion with, “Did you catch what Donald Trump said/tweeted today?”, we would all be better off.
I recently finished Jeanne Safer’s book, “I Love You, but I Hate Your Politics,” and now I feel as though my belief has been validated by an expert. She is a psychotherapist based in New York City, and the book addresses how politics can damage relationships. The work isn’t simply a collection of these stories of despair or intense rage. It serves as a guide. She aims, as the subtitle suggests, to safeguard relationships in a “toxic partisan world.”
