Episode notes

It's not exactly exculpatory with respect to the anti democratic er tendencies of republicans at the moment, but itx psychologicallyt explains something. When you move right of centre, you're meeting people who have no alternative, politically, to the republican party and whatever it's up to now. And they're faced by people who, on on very different topics and in very different ways, are also manufacturing a tremendous amount of dishonesty and misinformation. Just one image like that, you know, endlessly amplified on fox afterwards, does enough to just end the argument for people. i think that's that's been working in the background for many, many millions of people this whole time.

Sam Harris speaks with Anne Applebaum, David Frum, Barton Gellman, and George Packer about the ongoing threat to American democracy posed by Republican misinformation and disinformation regarding the 2020 Presidential Election and the attack on the Capitol on January 6th, 2021.
