In his presidential campaign and beyond, Donald Trump vowed to make America great again, pulling at the heartstrings of supporters harboring nostalgia for a more idealistic time in the American narrative: economic prosperity, safe neighborhoods, and simpler times.

These supporters feel that something has been lost, and that Donald Trump will be the man to bring them back. For a very different portion of the population, the worry about loss faces the future. With executive orders flying fast from the White House, a Supreme Court nominee on the table, talk of “nuclear options,” and secretary appointments yet to be confirmed, many Americans around the country -- from the halls of congress to the streets of your hometown -- are wondering what they can do to stop the sea change in Washington.

How can Americans get past what they think they know about one another? We may think we understand the guy in small town North Carolina who voted for Trump, or about the young woman protesting last weekend in Chicago.

Social media makes it easy to paint whole groups as racist, heathen or unpatriotic without ever hearing about what really motivates them.

Kerri Miller hosts a national conversation with Republican strategist Reed Galen and Metro State University anthropologist and social scientist Jose Santos about why it's so hard to set aside our mutual misconceptions.
