Derek Brown, former chair of the Republican Party, is interviewed by Jeff Burningham on the first episode of season 2 of Extraordinary US. Derek Brown discusses the effect social media has had on people in recent years, the importance of becoming comfortable with change, developing tolerance, and much more. In these unprecedented times, social media has become a symbol of unity, while simultaneously a place for criticism. When we are quickly able to block out opinions that don’t align with our values with a click of a button, we are left to wonder about the long-lasting effects this might have on our world.
