Inter-political marriages are less common today than interracial marriages!
@jburnmurdoch reports in a great thread how political polarization among young people is driving down marriage and fertility.
How can we maintain marriage and families in such a divided world?

An analysis by @FiveThirtyEight not long ago found that only about 4% of new marriages in the US are between Democrats and Republicans (versus 20% of new marriages that are interracial)!
Given the political divide between young men and women, this doesn't bode well. (2/3)

But looking at @FiveThirtyEight's data, we see a way forward.
A lot of young people in the US are identifying as independent (and they are presumably more moderate and tolerant of difference).
And those independents are succeeding with all types! (3/3)
