Episode Title: Red, Blue & Bestie Too: Can Friendships Survive Politics?
Description:
You love her—but she voted for them. 😬
In this unfiltered episode of Slightly Unsupervised, Jennifer and Jackie take on one of the most emotionally charged topics in modern friendship: politics. From divided families to deleted Facebook friends, they ask the big question—can two besties still laugh, love, and support each other when their worldviews are totally different?
They unpack how politics became personal, how algorithms keep us divided, and why we used to just… not care who our friends voted for. From raising politically opposite kids to surviving family dinners without flipping the table, Jen and Jackie get brutally honest about what’s really tearing people apart—and how to bring friendship (and maybe the country) back to the middle.
