We are living through a time of American history when a system of political enemies pitted against each other is the worst in memory. This is occurring significantly even within families, but especially between different geographic areas of town, suburbs, and countryside. We have separate places to get our news, separate places to socialize, and separate places of worship. We are living apart increasingly along political divides that never occurred before, as if we are two tribes dividing up and preparing for warfare.

History and science suggest that this is the beginning of stigmatization, hatred, and violence. But we do have a choice. We can choose to humanize each other across enemy divides, and we can especially seek out those who are angry, unhappy, and miserable. Empathy with those in misery may be a way out of serious American conflict. We will explore how in this podcast.
