The task we have in front of us is to bring this nation back together. I think Trump is the most divisive president we have ever had. The Russians understand the principle of divide and conquer. That is why they backed Trump in the election.

As an atheist, I believe morality grows from values. I believe different people hold these values in different levels. Whether these Trump voters see and understand that is irrelevant. What matters to me is that it allows me to pry for the values that they held that caused them to make a choice consistent with their morals in voting for that guy. For example, one of my army buddies lost a child to a miscarriage and now feels he must must vote pro-life. Although I am not pro-life and don’t think that position can excuse the rest, I can at least accept that my friend is a good person. Yes, he is certainly complicit, but I can find common ground with him. I think we need to start teaching reconciliation and tools like that in school, but I think the idea develops fairly naturally to most people, so I think we'll be okay.

However, “drinking the Kool-Aid” is a much different thing. That is a permanent thing. If after Trump has left office, if people continue to think that way, they will still be part of the problem and I don’t know how to reconcile with them. His low and falling approval rating leads me to believe that not many have really drank the Kool-Aid. I think many of those that still poll in favor of Trump will vote against him when it comes down to it, but are hedging their bets even in the polls.
