Peter Wood is an anthropologist and president of the National Association of Scholars. He believes—like many Americans on the right—that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump and the January 6th riots were incited by the left in collusion with the FBI. He's also the author of a new book called Wrath: America Enraged, which wrestles with our politics of anger and counsels conservatives on how to respond to perceived aggression.
Where does America go from here? In this episode, Peter joins Ciaran O'Connor for a frank conversation about the role of anger in our politics as well as the nature of truth, trust, and conspiracy theories.
