In this episode Anthony and Clay speak with Professors of Political Science Beth Theiss-Morse (UN Lincoln) and Jeff Spinner-Halev (UNC Chapel Hill). Jeff and Beth are the co-authors of the fantastic new book Respect and Loathing in American Democracy: Polarization, Moralization, and the Undermining of Equality. In it, they argue that the polarization we see in modern American politics is due largely to the fact that conservatives and liberals moralize different issues. Listen to this episode to learn about the difference between tolerance and respect, the "liberal respect paradox", how to talk politics with your “crazy uncle Joe,” and much more!
