Summary

You may have seen headlines recently about extremists going after no-fault divorce. “Yeah, okay, I’ve seen those stories,” your friends might say, “but… why would they do that?” The answer, of course, is simple: it’s about controlling women. Critics of no-fault divorce, like JD Vance, claim that it’s bad for couples and especially bad for kids. But the data just doesn’t bear that out.

There's so much happening in politics right now.

0:04.0

So red wine and blue is here to ask, okay, but why?

0:08.0

This is one of the great tricks that I think the sexual revolution pulled on the American populace,

0:16.0

which is this idea that like, well, okay, these marriages were fundamentally, you know, they were,

0:21.8

they were maybe even violent, but certainly they were unhappy. And so getting rid of them and

0:27.5

making it easier for people to shift spouses like they change their underwear, that's going to

Extremists across the country, including many in the Trump administration,

1:28.7

are pushing for an end to no-fault divorce. The idea is growing in popularity with conservative

1:34.9

Christian leaders, men's rights groups, and right-wing influencers. Republicans in states like

1:40.9

Texas and South Dakota have already proposed legislation that takes

1:44.7

away the right to divorce for irreconcilable differences. Losing the right to no-fault divorce

1:51.1

seems radical, but after the fall of Roe v. Wade, who knows what rights they'll take from us next?

1:57.8

So why is this a growing movement? And how concerned should we really be? No fault
