Tribalism is something unfortunate in this modern day and age as it leads to chaos and misunderstanding in our country.
Politics has put up tribal walls that sometimes seem hard to break.It has gotten to the level where relationships are being affected.
The likelihood of politics getting in the way of your relationship is very high, especially at this heated time in the country. You might argue over tribal grounds with your partner regarding a certain issue which might turn out very messy.
In the rural areas ,it is even worse because people are primitive and have not been educated. Some men have even gone to the extent of clubbing their wives because they come from a certain tribe where a politician they don’t like comes from.
In some cases, when the wife and the husband support different political parties, they can get into misunderstanding which might get physical. It is important not to let politics get in the way of your marriage or relationship.
