How do you feel when you argue politics at dinner? Do you dare broach ideological differences with friends or family? Have you experienced anger or anxiety after such discussions?
Even if political debates do not result in full-blown arguments or airborne spaghetti, they just don’t feel very good. There’s a reason why arguing politics at dinner is generally not considered good etiquette.
Perhaps you have learned to avoid politics and debate altogether, especially if previous altercations resulted in screaming matches. And since human beings have wildly different political opinions and beliefs, that’s always a risk.
Still, we yearn to share ideas.
