Not everything in life needs a party label.
Why does it feel like everything—even the most personal parts of our lives—gets pulled into politics? Sex, health, relationships… all of it ends up with a partisan label slapped on.
The political system has already set the boundaries for what’s “acceptable,” so by the time we think we’re making a free choice, we’re often just picking from options someone else decided we could have.
Dax Shepard’s advice? Stop playing along. The problem is, once an issue gets swallowed by the left-vs-right machine, the debate stops being about the actual issue and starts being about proving you’re loyal to your side.
The real challenge is catching yourself when your gut reaction is just your political team talking. Asking, “Would I still believe this if I didn’t know where my side stood?” And being willing to go against the grain if it means your decision is actually your own.
