#2Then researchers used that mobile tracking data to see who visited strip clubs the Friday after Thanksgiving. They contacted those people to see how much they would pay for them not to tell their wives about it. You know, for science.

#3No comparison to 2015 data? Maybe Thanksgiving always shorter for this group.

Also, presumably areas of different political affiliation are likely to be farther apart, and people with a long drive home are likely to go home earlier. Perhaps they've corrected for all that in the paper, but it's not out yet.

#6If true, then people are losing focus on what's important. Half of my family is extremely conservative. Half is very liberal. We get along great at family gatherings, because we just agreed that discussing politics is less important than family relationships.
Maybe that will play out over the next couple years, now that the latest political developments seem to have really stretched the boundaries. Perhaps we will collectively decide it just isn't worth it to squabble. If we get super lucky we will realize we are being played, and we'll join together and turn on those who are driving the division.

#7"The smartphone data included 21 billion “pings” of devices in November 2016, each recording the location of a given smartphone at a specific time. It was provided by SafeGraph, a company that collects location data and other information from partners, including developers of mobile applications."
Well that is certainly interesting. This comes out to 70 pings for every smartphone in November. I am assuming dataset they've got is limited to U.S. only, there is a single cell phone per person, and there are 300 million people in U.S. (both are minor underestimations).
Now I am wondering what other information is available for purchase and how it is used.

I have zero tolerance for racism. My family voted for Trump and they say racist things. I don't need that in my life.

Its a nice dream. It’ll never happn. All it takes is one family member acting out, and lacking complete self awareness about it, to cause everyone else to regret being arund family.
I’ve know pople to change their likes and beliefs. I’ve never known anyone to change their psychology. A narcissist is always a narcissist. Unfortunately.
