Several divorce attorneys tell Fox News that they’re seeing an “uptick” in politically-motivated divorces these days, the propaganda network reports and prepare to be not shocked over what specific issues they do not name as factors. Hint: Not QAnon, racism, or Fox News itself.
“In a Monday interview with Fox News Digital, [DC-based family lawyer Yonatan] Levoritz noted a surge in separations rooted in political discord over the past three election cycles. He observed that as political ideologies grow further ingrained in societal values, polarizing issues such as abortion, drugs and sexuality are breaking down families,” Fox News writes. For all we know Levoritz did in fact offer them several examples of spouses who got sucked into Fox News, QAnon, the Church of the Iron Rod, or other cultish right wing belief systems but they chose not to print those quotes.
Or maybe Levoritz is on Team MAGA himself. “A lot of the divorces are being caused by hot-button issues like abortion. I’ve heard that one at least four or five times in the past two or three months,” Levoritz said, telling Fox about on a case involving a man who sought to divorce his wife “after she had two abortions without his permission,” per Fox. That’s fucking twisted. Again, we don’t know if that guy was Levoritz’s client or he was representing the wife as a defendant.
“Consider a conservative father and a liberal mother, divided on whether to allow their transgender child to openly express their espoused gender identity or, perhaps, a conservative mother and a liberal father disagreeing on the prospect of their sixteen-year-old daughter terminating an unplanned pregnancy,” Fox News writes about other examples of “political differences.”
