Did someone you care about send you this link?
If a family member or friend sent you Kitchen Table Truce, here is what they are trying to say: you matter more to me than winning a political argument. They aren't sending this to "fix" you or change how you vote. They are looking for a way for the two of you to stay in each other's lives without walking on eggshells.
About Kitchen Table Truce
Politics has come between a lot of people who love each other. This site is for anyone trying to stay close to someone who sees Trump differently, whichever side you're on.
What we mean by a Kitchen Table Truce
A truce doesn't mean surrendering, pretending you agree, or giving up what you believe. It means two people who care about each other agree to stop treating the dinner table—or the family group chat—like a battlefield.
A lot of political tools online are built to help one side win the argument or debunk the other. This site is the opposite. It runs on one rule: trying to persuade a family member almost always backfires, and staying connected is the only win that counts.
What we promise
- We don't take a political side, and we don't make claims about any candidate or party.
- Every example passes a "swap test": it has to read as fair and natural with the two sides reversed, whichever side you're on.
- The goal is never to win an argument or change anyone's vote. It's to keep talking.
- No ads, no sign-ups. Your planner answers stay in your browser and are never stored or tracked.
- Every research claim links to its source. The techniques draw on Amanda Ripley, Braver Angels, Kalla & Broockman, and the Gottman Institute.
