Jeanne Safer, author of the new book "I Love You, but I Hate Your Politics," joins the podcast to discuss how we can maintain relationships with friends and family despite political differences.Safer, a psychologist, should know: while liberal herself, she has long been married to National Review senior editor Rick Brookhiser. "Never start any conversation with, 'how could you possibly think...'" Safer explains, "even if you're not shouting. Or 'did you hear the obnoxious tweet or the stupid thing this person said?' These are not conversation starters, they are insults. And your partner, the person you care about, will interpret them that way."
