Episode notes

The speaker discusses their approach to engaging in conversations with people who still support Trump, highlighting the importance of understanding and humanizing people with differing perspectives. They emphasize the value of listening to others' stories and recognizing our own blind spots, as well as the opportunity for personal growth and learning that comes from these conversations.

It sure looks like Trump isn’t going away. Many of us around the Good Faith campfire oppose him deeply. But we have people in our lives – sometimes in fractured relationships – who are going to support Trump once again. How do we relate to those people – those who are also parents, relatives, friends, co-workers, and neighbors? To wrestle with this complicated question, Curtis is joined by Pete Wehner, Senior Fellow at the Trinity Forum and contributor to the New York Times and the Atlantic.
