What to do when politics interferes with relationships

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

Election 2020 is finally, mercifully, over. But on social media, on the news, in conversations with loved ones -- it doesn't really feel like we've reached the understanding and reconciliation phase after the ugly and bitter political battles of the summer. And with the holidays coming up and families getting together, there are going to be conversations around the dinner table or through the Zoom that a lot of people are dreading. So, how do you find common ground with someone you've recently discovered has the exact opposite political views? How do you preserve relationships that feel fractured by all this political hostility? And would all of this be a lot better if social media just stopped being a thing? Dr. Nina Mendez, Assistant Professor of Psychology at La Salle University joins KYW Newsradio in Depth to give some great advice about connecting with loved ones and resolving tension in relationships despite the political battles all around us that seem like they just don't want to end.
