Research shows that 90% of Americans bear political anger, impacting their social connections. Political scientists found political anger leads to avoidance of inter-party relationships, resulting in diminished social networks. Individuals become unwilling to engage with those holding opposing party views, which can influence their choices in personal relationships. This isolation reinforces misunderstanding, fueling further division, making it difficult for people to comprehend different perspectives. By studying stereotypes during previous administrations, significant distinctions in views were documented, highlighting the complexities of political affiliations and their social ramifications.
Political anger disrupts everyday life such as coffee with friends and major life choices, leading to the decay of social networks vital for understanding and connection.
When partisan anger takes hold, people start to isolate from those with differing political views, which can severely impact relationships with family, friends, and neighbors.
The more we withdraw from those with opposing views, the greater the misunderstanding of each other becomes, resulting in an even deeper separation.
A Mood of the Nation Poll indicates that 9 in 10 Americans can identify a recent news event related to politics that provoked anger.
