Understanding Political Polarization at Great Falls Library

A class of individuals from diverse backgrounds met at the Great Falls Library at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 9. The class, “Righteous Minds: Trying to Understand Political Minds,” gathered to discuss and try to understand how political views and group loyalties make individuals view the political world. The class was hosted by Bill Roos, of Arlington, on the meetup.com app. It is an app in which people create groups that others with similar interests can join. This can include meeting up for hiking, cooking, reading and more.

The next meeting will take place on Aug. 16 at the Great Falls Library. Here is what some of the attendees had to say about the class:
