What happens when people with very different political perspectives sit down and actually talk? In this episode of From Behind This Chair, the conversation gets real about Trump, immigration, political polarization, race, history, and what it means to look beyond the labels of "left" and "right." The discussion explores why people vote the way they do, the complexities of immigration, the role of historical facts in political conversations, and how political narratives can divide people who may actually have more in common than they realize.

Most importantly, this conversation challenges us to see people as people—not just as Democrats, Republicans, immigrants, or members of a particular group—and to make decisions based on understanding, history, and humanity. 👉 Do you think America is too divided by left vs. right? Can we have political conversations without letting labels get in the way?
