What is a political party? How do the two major parties in the
U.S. differ in terms of:
-their ideologies (what do they “stand for”?)
-the types of people that make up the parties
-the reasons we have political parties

“Trump's Party”. Do you agree? Why or why not. What has been
the effect on the nation and the Republican Party of this state of
affairs during the Trump presidency?
Conflict exists between Trump and state governors, the press
and even his own experts on the coronavirus and the timing of

and, of course, his tweets. What do you make of all this conflict
during a crisis?
How have your political opinions been affected by the pandemic
