    That strong partisan identity is 100% compatible with "ideological innocence" (a nice way of saying "all over the map on issue preferences") is a big true fact of political science that never seems to break through.

    This is 100% accurate, and if anything that’s underreporting bc lots of people don’t want to say “yes, my husband abandoned me when I got sick.”

    Replying to @KHandozo
    The statistic that sticks with me: per a 2009 study in the journal Cancer, 21% of women got abandoned by their husbands while sick. Just 3% of men. Control group was 12% divorce rate. Cancer made husbands more likely to GTFO, women more likely to stay.

    This is 100% accurate, and if anything that’s underreporting bc lots of people don’t want to say “yes, my husband abandoned me when I got sick.”
