0:40.2	How sad. To destroy a family over something like politics.
0:46.5	Thirty years ago, people could talk about being Democrats or Republicans or none of the above,
0:53.1	and nobody wished anybody dead. But that's not the case today. Even in families, much less friendships. It used to be that you'd argue a little bit,
