Today we're going to be talking about the psychology of politics and why it can be so intense and so polarizing, especially right now.
And before we dive into it, let me be very clear on this.
I have no dog in this fight.
I do not believe in nor support either side in any way.
And I will never tell you what to do or what to believe in in your life.
There is nothing that I want to talk less about than politics, but I am very intrigued by psychology and I love to watch all the psychological factors that are at play in politics.
In fact, this is how little I want to do in politics.
I get an email from a listener the other day saying that somehow political ads were playing on my show from both candidates.
I have no clue how it happened.
Mind you, they're not read by me.
Even though I very clearly and specifically said absolutely no political ads on my podcast.
Somehow they slipped through the cracks and I wasn't the happiest camper.
In fact, a better phrase would probably be pissed because that's not what I represent.
