Tonight’S Topic: Why Americans Can’T Debate Politics Anymore

In light of the recent call for cooling down political rhetoric in the wake of the recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump, it might be a good idea for us to step back and do a collective self assessment and examination of this topic.

Some questions we might want to consider for discussion are: Why and how is the political climate common to be so divisive? What role do politicians and the media play in stalking the fires of divisiveness, even to the point of fueling violence? What is the dividing line between an honest portrayal of political differences slip into an invitation to despise one’s opponent(s) and lay the groundwork for inviting violence against them? What are the moral limits of political speech?

As a prelude to our discussion, we will be watching a video presentation entitled: Why Americans Can’t Debate Politics Anymore”.
