Spaces between...

16 February 2017: "Is there any room between...'I don't owe you, like, the condescending "I respect your point of view"' and 'I'm still interested in trying to understand where you come from and think about how I might get you to think about this a little bit differently?'" --Emily Bazelon on this week's Slate Culture Gabfest.

This segment started off as an interesting discussion of SNL in the age of Trump, but then took a turn into a really cool discussion of how to talk with his supporters (if at all). I am not sure of the full answer I would give to Bazelon's question, but the answer has to be yes, right? How do we thread that needle?
