Find someone who's at least similar seeming to you.

I guess I was thinking, how could that be?

But then I was thinking, oh, people think certain countries control the weather and this, that, and the other.

I'm like, oh no, you're right.

Now, you looked at folks in the U.S.

during the 2020 and 2024, the last two elections in which a president was selected.

Those were a pretty emotionally charged period for a lot of people.

Yes.

Did you notice differences around elections or around events or not?

Now, you're an academic, a professor, a researcher.

You might not want to answer this question because of the lack of data, but could these findings extend to the dinner table like at Thanksgiving or Christmas?

Like should families that are highly polarized talk about these things or perhaps not?

Well, I appreciate you having this discussion with me anyway, Christine.

Thanks for joining me.
