    Summary of the Research

    I chose to research about the political differences in the United States. I found

    that the United States is pretty split when it comes to how they feel about who should be

    in charge. The major parties that make up most of the voters is Democratic and

    Republican. Some people will vote Libertarian but not many. During the election of

    2020, every voter had their own opinions on the opponents running. Democrats said

    that if Trump would have won, the country would be in harm. Republicans said that if

    Biden won the election, then the country would be in trouble for the next 4 years. This

    election alone caused a lot of disagreements between Americans and split the nation in

    half. I researched how this election split the nation and how it affected people and their

    relationships with friends who affiliated with the opposite party.

    Summary of the Interview

    For the 30-minute interview, I interviewed my friend Kirsten. The reason I

    interviewed her is because we have different opinions on political issues and party

    affiliations. When I asked her about her experiences as a member of the Democratic

    party, she stated that her whole family also supported the Democratic party so she felt

    as if she had quite a bit of people that thought the same way she did. She said that it

    was nice to be able to talk to people close to her that also liked and supported the

    things she did. Ever since Kirsten had learned about politics, she had supported most of

    the things that were affiliated with the Democratic Party. Some characteristics she

    stated about people who support this party were supportive, strong-willed, united, and

    enthusiastic. “There are always going to be advantages and disadvantages to

    everything you do in life. So of course, there are some to supporting a political party.

    The biggest one disadvantage for me is the side comments from other party supporters

    who make fun or get angry with me and my opinions.” When I asked Kirsten how she

    felt about what people should know about the party, she stated that she wanted people

    to know that not all democratic supporters are bad. Just like there are bad supporters of

    republicans, there are bad apples for every group you are affiliated with.

    Personal Reflection

    During the time I took to do my research, I still had the same opinions about how

    I felt about the Democratic and Republican parties. I knew that this election had split the

    nation in half, and it affected relationships between people. But after doing the interview

    with my friend Kirsten, it made me take a step back and realize that many people often

    think the same thing about Republicans. I still do not support the things that Democrats

    support and advocate for, but I do support the belief of choosing what you want to

    support. I would never judge someone for believing in something. That is not right. So

    during the interview, I kept an open mind and listened to everything she had to say!
