A majority of Democrats find it stressful to talk with supporters of President Donald Trump, according to a Pew Research Center poll released Thursday.
The latest national survey by Pew, conducted June 27 through July 9 among 2,505 adults, found that 68 percent of both Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents find it “stressful and frustrating” to talk about politics with people who have a different opinion of Trump. Just 28 percent of the two groups found it “interesting and informative.”
Republicans in the same poll were more split on the question. Only 52 percent of Republicans or Republican-leaning independents said that it’s stressful to talk about politics with people who have a different opinion of the president. Forty-two percent found it interesting and informative.
The poll found that white Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents are more likely to find it stressful to talk with Trump supporters than did black or Hispanic Democrats. While 74 percent of white Democrats say it is stressful, only 56 percent of blacks and 61 percent of Hispanic Democrats shared the same opinion.
Women find talking with people with a different view of Trump more frustrating than men, 64 percent compared to 54 percent. Adults under 30 are actually more likely to find conversations with people of the opposite political persuasion interesting than are older Americans, 42 percent to 33 percent.
Hopefully the hair on their necks is standing up knowing their reign of terror is over.
Nutcases.
Millions of Americans on psych meds.
So what?
Fine. Don’t talk to us. Do your jobs and otherwise, just leave us alone.
Horsesht. They are the ones coming to our threads to troll sht
They are the burqua wearing extremist supporting terrorists, not us
It’s always stressful with truth threatens delusion.
Uh, do you want to know what the previous eight years (of friggin’ hell on earth) felt like??
“Women find talking with people with a different view of Trump more frustrating than men”.
Women are nonconfrontational (except to their husbands) and the commercial marketplace and DC has been kissing their butts for a generation.
If you take public money, get used to having people in your business. It’s only going to accelerate from here on out.
Good. I hope they stress out to the max.
They also feel stressed talking to ProLife people, Christians, white men, black conservatives, and on and on and on.....
They are just a collective of spoiled, evil misfits, IMO :)
You'd be amazed how many brain-zapped maniacs can't handle that concept.
I don’t talk to anybody about politics just to say I don’t discuss politics. FR is my forum.
I don’t discuss politics with my family especially my dem wife.
I have few friends and those are conservatives and Trump supporters.
I’m doing fine.
Larry

It hasn’t posed a problem yet.
Democrats are stressed when the sun rises.
What children.
BOO
