the dichotomy that trips me up time and again is that trump supporters (as evidenced in these anecdotes) are much more concerned about feelings: fearfulness, isolation, encroachment, insult, loss of status, etc. but lefties are more interested in policy-making, i.e, what's the right rules and regulations to implement to solve social and economic problems (with an air of superiority of having the "right answer" coming along with that). it's an easy way to talk past each other rather than truly empathizing (mainly sitting and listening rather than offering solutions). let's keep hearing stories from neglected america and it just might help heal this rift.
