Episode notes

David french: If you are attaching partisanship to any part of your identity, then you have the partisan mind. He says he has found that if you begin to define yourself as a republican, for a really long time, this journey of the partison mind is very personal for you. "You've written out it in personal terms, which i think is is very compelling"

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.
