Aaron Perlut | Author of The Death of Compromise | The Jeff Crilley Show

from The Jeff Crilley Show · host RNCN

I think everyone would agree that America feels more divided than it has in a very long time. Families avoid talking politics at Thanksgiving dinner because one conversation can turn into an argument. Friendships are strained, relationships are filtered through political beliefs, and people are increasingly surrounding themselves only with those who think exactly like they do.My next guest says that may be one of the biggest threats facing our country today. Aaron Perlut is in the studio, and his new book, The Death of Compromise, takes a hard look at how we lost the ability to meet in the middle, why compromise has become viewed as weakness, and what it’s doing to our politics, relationships, and culture.
