0:00.0 | 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 |
0:31.9 | make people happier in the long term. And what we have is a lot of very, very real family dysfunction that's making our kids unhappy. |

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? |
