Is America a racist country? Is America broken? These are a few of the questions we asked the seven Trump voters and six Biden voters who participated in [our most recent focus group](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRkxQFyP0TxaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vaW50ZXJhY3RpdmUvMjAyMi8wNy8yOC9vcGluaW9uL2ZvY3VzLWdyb3VwLXBvbGl0aWNhbC1kaXZpc2lvbi5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTM5JmVtYz1lZGl0X3R5XzIwMjIwNzI4Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTY3ODIyJm5sPW9waW5pb24tdG9kYXkmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTk5Nzc4JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpi4HJ84mIDmjKJUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~). We devoted our two-hour discussion to exploring the division that has run through America over the past decade or so. We knew that the participants had at least one thing in common based on their answers to a questionnaire. Asked if they were “mad as hell and not going to take it anymore,” all responded with a yes. But could they find even a bit of common ground beyond that? The participants generally agreed that Congress is failing to do its job and that neither President Biden nor Donald Trump should be the presidential nominees in 2024. But past that, what unfolded over the course of the evening made for our most contentious focus group yet. Voters from both sides saw those on the other as violent, pointing to Jan. 6 and Charlottesville, Va., as evidence of violence on the right, at the protests of and quasi-assassination attempt on Brett Kavanaugh as evidence of violence on the left. At one point in the conversation, a participant said that violence “is not the American way.” This led one voter to respond, “Can you get outside of your white skin for a minute and understand that this country was built on violence?” What is the American way? This question floated above the conversation that evening. After reading the transcript, one might conclude that one person’s American way is another person’s un-American — a tension that is driving left and right farther and farther from the center. How to resolve that strain is a defining problem of our age.
