It uses the example of Jimmy Kimmel&#8217;s wife,Molly McNearney,who expressed frustration and anger toward her Trump-supporting family members,describing them as &#8220;deliberately misled&#8221; and sharing how this political divide has caused emotional strain. She admits to personalizing politics to an unhealthy degree and wishes she could &#8220;deprogram&#8221; herself from this anger. The piece argues that this type of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/election-fraud-cases-impacting-several-states\/\" title=\"Election fraud cases affecting multiple states.\">intense political division<\/a> within families is largely a liberal phenomenon exacerbated by liberal media figures, including Kimmel himself, who has blamed Trump for personal and professional setbacks. It contrasts this with conservatives,who rarely frame their family disagreements in political terms or express ongoing anger,suggesting that not personalizing politics can definitely help maintain family bonds and reduce constant political anger. The article highlights the irony of liberals who preach tolerance and diversity but often fail to apply these values within their own families.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Don&rsquo;t personalize your politics like Jimmy Kimmel&rsquo;s family does<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2256868\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The debate about <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/political-polarization\/\">political polarization<\/a> often inevitably devolves into finger-pointing from both sides about how polarizing their opponents are.

But I, like, personalize everything now. When I see these terrible stories every day, and I&rsquo;m immediately mad at certain aunts, uncles, cousins, who put him in power. And it&rsquo;s really hard, and I wish I could, like, deprogram myself in some way, but I get really angry.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Oh, but she just &ldquo;hates&rdquo; that this happens to her.<\/p>\n<p>There is good news for those of you out there who are like McNearney: It does not have to happen to you. In fact, if you don&rsquo;t &ldquo;personalize&rdquo; your politics and treat the other political side as unforgivable, destructive monsters who want to hurt people, you will not be angry all the time and hate your family members who disagree with you on politics. Taking all of the negatives of one political party, dialing them up to 11, and then assigning every offense to members of your family who voted for that party is totally optional.<\/p>\n<p>But the Kimmel family has been undoubtedly broken by politics, thanks in part to Kimmel&rsquo;s job as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/southwest-airlines-announces-the-end-of-its-signature-seating-policy\/\" title=\"Southwest Airlines Announces the End of Its Signature Seating Policy\">late-night &#038;ldquo<\/a>;comedian&rdquo;\/<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/democrats\/\">Democratic<\/a> pundit.

Trying to explain the exact same point that I am making, Stewart <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JasonJournoDC\/status\/1984684016789045433\">talked<\/a> about &ldquo;people in my family&rdquo; who are &ldquo;to the right of Attila the Hun,&rdquo; but he loves them anyway. It&rsquo;s a nice sentiment to hear, but it remains odd that Stewart and others must still frame it as &ldquo;my relatives are right-wing, but I still love them,&rdquo; as if that throat clearing is even necessary.<\/p>\n<p>There is a lot of this hemming and hawing in liberal media about conservative relatives, and that is not something that has much of an equivalent on the Right. You do not see conservatives running around talking about how their uncles or nieces are left-wing communists, &ldquo;but I love them anyway.&rdquo; The qualifications aren&rsquo;t necessary because most people outside the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >liberal media don&#038;rsquo<\/a>;t allow their politics to become personal, and as a result, they aren&rsquo;t &ldquo;angry all the time&rdquo; about politics and taking it out on their families.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don&#8217;t make politics personal like Jimmy Kimmel&#8217;s family does<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2742,"featured_media":2510460,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Jimmy-Kimmel-wife.jpg?w=696","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[43710,33295,67076,32171,5894],"class_list":["post-2510459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-jimmy-kimmel","tag-media-criticism","tag-personalization","tag-political-commentary","tag-politics"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Jimmy-Kimmel-wife.jpg?w=696","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2510459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2742"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2510459"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2510459\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2510463,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2510459\/revisions\/2510463"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2510460"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2510459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2510459"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2510459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
