I NEED A SURVEY TO TELL ME THIS? Poll: college-educated women end friendships over politics.
If you wanted to drill down to the biggest dividing factor here, it’s the portion of the coalition made up of college-educated women – a cohort that now dominates the politics of the Democratic coalition. In their circles, they say differences of political opinion have led to broken friendships with friends and neighbors at a more than 40-point rate – 67 percent to 24 percent.
One factor here could be an underlying belief that your friends and neighbors are just flat-out racists over their political opinions. Of Kamala Harris voters, Cygnal’s poll found that 62 percent say race relations have gotten worse in the past five years (since the summer of George Floyd), while 55 percent of Trump voters say race relations have improved or stayed the same. And again, the same cohort shows up to double-down on that belief: fully 75 percent of white female Democrats with a college-degree say race relations have gotten worse since 2020 – compared to just 41 percent of black men.
It’s the allyship that matters most, you see – not friendship.
Just as a reminder of how ephemeral most tribal political battles are, the late Charles Krauthammer wrote:
To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil.
That was back in 2002, when the then-Hitlers on the left were George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. Both of whom the Harris campaign eagerly sought endorsements from last year.
““Women don’t have friendships. They have competitors and targets.””
Liberal women are transactional too emotional. Conservative women understand long term relationships.
Exactly! :-)
so true
Romance is a nice term for unrelated sexual relationship.
Oh, just stop. 😆
If you have a “D” after your name you are the enemy. Rush Limbaugh
I view all Democrat voters as the enemy. Why would I want to waste time hanging around with them? They are responsible for the misery we’ve endured in this country for years. The second I hear that libtard drivel coming from someone’s mouth I’m done.
Sure my single days, I never let politics stand in the way of those kind of "romantic" relationships.
And wonder why they can’t find a good man...
“Sexual” also means, the goal. Not that it’s happening. In normal senses, between a male and female. Today in insane world, that can easily mean all kinds of homo/trannie stuff, but I’m talking about normal.
Not intended to mean we’re screwing immorally. Just that the attraction ultimately is sexual.
You got it! I think Reagan got it from Twain.
That’s just a classic Reagan speech moment, everyone should have it at hand.
