Scenario

When social groups struggle with political differences and conflict

Our neighborhood book club started as a fun social thing but has somehow become a place where two members constantly argue about politics and the rest of us feel trapped between wanting to keep things light and feeling like we can't ignore important issues. We all like each other but we're not sure this group can hold the weight of real disagreement.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group is discovering the limits of politeness when members have fundamentally different values about what can be ignored.
