Sunday at a luncheon I was seated next to a financial advisor who I’d been told had voted for Trump. Great, I thought, but it turned out we had identical complaints about the biases in American society today, how every element of it now – from media to comedy – leans one way or the other. And it occurred to me that Americans of different political stripes, perhaps even the majority of the population, could find common ground these days through their mutual disgust with the politicization of everything.
