EP 229: Are we even speaking the same language? "Conservative" has become meaningless and conversations are hard.

We are living in a broken and fragmented country. Conversations can and do feel fruitless when the people having them lack any sort of parallel foundational principles. In today’s episode, Rita will discuss why without a foundational understanding of what America is, what our governments role was intended to be, and even what conservatism is…the divide will only continue to grow deeper. It is crucial that we have a firm and moral foundation, push aside the desire for comfort, and seek the truth.

A Crisis of Shared Foundations1:51 – 2:42

Rita RogersHost

1:51

All right.

Rita RogersHost

1:51

So like I said, we are so fractured in America as a whole, but even when you split the country based on political ideology, there are multiple broken and fragmented groups.

Rita RogersHost

2:03

This is more than every individual being uniquely made and therefore different.

Rita RogersHost

2:08

I'm talking massive ideological shifts in differences in beliefs from person to person, and it all stems from a lack of foundational principles running through every matter.

Rita RogersHost

Rita RogersHost

2:31

It highlighted why not only we struggle to come together on ideas and solutions, but also we can't even begin to have a coherent conversation.
