Episode notes

i was a ragan republican from days, way back from the uno. My parents were democrats. Voted for mc govern mote, voted for carter a both times. So i had my, like, republicanism sort of all over my high school year book. And so that's how deep it went. The rise of trump was sort of like the, not the straw, the two by four that broke the camel's back.

In this week’s episode David and Curtis explore the concept of the “partisan mind”; what it is, where it comes from, and why it is in conflict with the “mind of Christ”. They look at the social science behind partisan polarization and offer some practical tips on how we can tell when we are (and how we can avoid) falling into the snare of the partisan mind.
