In this episode, Portia assess the unhealthy American political climate in the age of Trump. She describes her experience with the 2016 election and how Trump's election transformed American politics, fueling its now dichotomic nature. Portia emphasizes the importance of respect--she argues that people are so fixated on negating their opposing political party's values that they neglect their homogenous American citizenship. Considering that everyone differs in some way or form, whether that be physically or emotionally or politically, Portia emphasizes that we need to respect our differences. In order to dissipate the ill American political atmosphere, she advocates for respect in that we need to see each other as humans before we see each other as liberals or conservatives.
