Matt Grossmann, Director of the Institute for Public Policy and Social Research, Senior Fellow at the Niskanen Center, and co-author of Polarized by Degrees: How the Diploma Divide and the Culture War Transformed American Politics, joins The Realignment. Marshall and Matt discuss how the growing diploma divide reshaped post-Cold War politics, how Democrats became the party of highly-educated Americans who trust credentialed experts and Republicans became populists supported by voters without college degrees who distrust institutions, why the culture wars increasingly feel perpetual, and how every aspect of non-political American culture politicized over the past 40 years.
