Trust in civic, religious, and academic institutions is at an all-time low in America. But this phenomenon did not, as some Americans might believe, begin when President Trump was elected. It has been on the decline for decades, and while it has been falling, individualism and tribalism have been on the rise. And these tribes — tied to each other with ever fewer common threads — are moving farther and farther apart in almost every measurable way, from geography to politics to economic and educational achievement. Where do we go from here? Can any of this trust be restored, and what does this all mean for our communities and our democracy? Author of "The Big Sort: Why the Clustering of Like-Minded America is Tearing Us Apart" Bill Bishop speaks with former Congressman Mickey Edwards. Edwards is a vice president of the Aspen Institute.
