Listening

I’m a progressive who has recently interviewed people who voted for Donald Trump. An early conversation with my sister, Alicia (see A Family Conversation) and two questions drove me: What were people thinking who voted for Donald Trump, and Is there any common ground left anymore between groups of people who voted differently. This blog is the outcome, starting with profiles of the people whom I interviewed. I’m not sure how this blog will develop from here—it’s an experiment in communication across a divide.

Most of the people I have found to interview so far are middle class or upper middle class white Americans, not rust belt or blue collar voters. Most are mid-life or older. I’d love to interview some people of color and some people who are younger and learn why you voted for Donald Trump. If you are either of those and would like to become part of this project, message me on my Facebook page at MaureenDixon-Writer.

Comments are welcome from any perspective, but only if they are respectful.
