This week, Jarrett Hill and Tre’vell Anderson discuss the appeal for Democrats and other groups to find common ground with Trump voters and others on the right.

The holidays are upon us and with that comes family dinners, Zoom gatherings (hello, 2020!) and a spirit of community across the nation. While the nation grapples with a volatile election year within an already volatile four years of civil unrest, some have advocated for folks to find a path toward healing, a chance to put down our differences and look toward a new beginning as a healed nation.

But will doing so cause more harm than good for those who have been the target of subjugation? Should it fall to those groups to extend the olive branch?

FANTI hosts Jarrett Hill and Tre’vell Anderson get into the complex and complicado of reconciliation and who should be doing the work.

About the show

Sometimes the people, places, and things we love don’t love us back. We’re fans, but we also have some ANTI- feelings toward them. Every week on FANTI, journalists Tre’vell Anderson and jarrett hill bring their pop culture and political expertise to things we must stan and stand up against. FANTI is a place where nuance reigns supreme with energetic, complicated, and sometimes difficult conversations that bring deep knowledge and thoughtful perspective to the things we love and rage about, from the White House to the Real House(wives).
