I appreciate Jack Hornor’s letter, “Trump backers aren’t somehow ‘less than’” [Recorder, Feb. 1]. He says that supporters of Trump aren’t less intelligent or less informed, rather “they simply see the United States in different ways than most progressive or liberal people do.”
For 35 years I worked for a local college — quite liberal in fact. I am quite conservative. The faculty and I had several political and religious discussions over a cup of coffee and we respected each other at every turn..
Empathy is a choice we make and can have many happy returns.
The Rev. Phill Grant
