#182 Loving People You Disagree With

<p>Tomorrow is Election Day. I can’t remember an election in my lifetime that was this contentious and would leave so many people devastated no matter the result. It’s just a lot. And you are a unicorn if you do not know and love someone who is voting differently than you are. We’re all really tender right now, and to top it all off in terms of timing, we’re about to enter the most family/friend-centric two months of the year with all the winter holidays. So I think it’s time for a little conversation on loving people you disagree with.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Helpful Companion Links</strong></p><ul><li>A great resource that has helped me in my life is <a href="https://www.pantsuitpoliticsshow.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pantsuit Politics Podcast</a> and their book <a href="https://rstyle.me/+BeRrLU6qvayiDI3M3ux9Qw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>I Think You’re Wrong But I’m Listening</em></a></li><li>Emily P.
