How Civil Discourse Can Help the U.S. Find Common Ground
Episode 173
As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, Americans are growing more concerned about the state of the nation’s democracy. According to Pew Research Center, 80% of U.S. adults say that when it comes to major issues facing the country, Republican and Democratic voters don’t just disagree on policies—they can’t even agree on basic facts.
So, what does it take to bridge divides during a time of deep polarization? In this special rebroadcast of The Pew Charitable Trusts and Disagree Better’s “America at 250 Forum,” Governors Spencer Cox (UT), Wes Moore (MD), and Kevin Stitt (OK) join NPR’s Steve Inskeep for a cross-party conversation about civil discourse, public trust, and where we can find common ground on our nation’s most pressing policy issues.
