7. Or....should we stay friends with people who are intolerant of our opinions?

I just interviewed a former Trump supporter and he had some pretty uncomfortable experiences with his "friends" calling him sub-human and racist.

He's young white Chicago native who grew up in a poor and diverse suburb of Chicago, and certainly helped me check my stereotypes about Trump supporters. Sheds light on why millions of Americans support Trump *and* what might inspire them to move in a different direction (really useful information!)

So.....why did he defect from the Donald, and who did he switch to? I won't ruin the surprise
