In response to Prof. Milner's statement about a discussion of all this - the Trump presidency and the direction of America - at the dinner table. I offer what Pres. Reagan said in his farewell speech - Jan. 11, 1989: 

"And let me offer lesson number one about America: All great change in America begins at the dinner table. So, tomorrow night in the kitchen I hope the talking begins"

If there is to be cohesive change, first off families need to start sitting at the table again, and like the family does in "Blue Bloods", start having a conversation on these items that span generational views, and make it a learning place, not a place where the goal is to overwhelm those who do not agree with you.
