In times of intense polarization, the greatest anger is often directed at n group dissenters. If you're on the left and dissenting against the right, you are seen as weakening the side before the exes existential threat. And so its an established pattern that in times of real cleavage and tribal consolidation, the greatest venom and retaliation is reserved for the in group dissenter. So i get a tack from the right. But m since i started working for the new york times in particular, a lot of the really vitriolic anger has come from from folks on the left. I want to say, not everyone from the left.
David and Curtis talk to Tish Harrison Warren, an author, Anglican priest, and writer for The New York Times. Their conversation about prayer gets very real, as they first talk about prayer in wartime. Then they move back to the American cultural struggles, and discuss the disturbing tendency to compare peace to war and the toxic effect on our lives and hearts.
