University Center Theater on the WCU Campus. 245 Memorial Drive. Cullowhee, NC. Free Parking. Free event.

We are at a critical moment in our nation’s politics. We live in divided political times. Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, MAGA enthusiasts and Woke liberals drive different cars, drink different beer, consume different media, and live in different worlds. These differences have even torn families apart. How can we navigate this increasingly fractious political moment? Michael Kruse of Politico has thought about this question more than most, and while he doesn’t have any easy answers, he does have some thoughts that can help guide us. Please join Michael, in conversation with Blue Ridge Public Radio’s Lilly Knoepp, as they discuss these issues and a few more. Note: the idea for this talk comes from Michael’s November 4 piece in Politico, The Breaking of an American Family.  https://www.politico.com/interactives/2024/trump-harris-divide-johnson-brothers-american-family/
