Kanye West is trafficking in antisemitism and white supremacy, and he’s using memes to do it. In this longer episode, Bridget talks with Harvard researchers Dr. Joan Donovan and Emily Dryfuss about their insightful new book, “The Meme Wars: The Untold Story of the Online Battles Upending Democracy in America.” They break down the history of memes, and what today’s memes tell us about our social and political futures. And they have a lot to say about Kanye West.
