Episode notes
The current political climate lacks an incentive structure for civil discourse and compromise, especially within the Republican Party. The trend began with Newt Gingrich's rise to politics, marking a departure from collaborative governance to a strategy focused on obstruction. This has persisted for two decades, creating a hostile environment where political interactions prioritize opposing messaging rather than fostering common ground. Despite efforts from figures like Barack Obama to reach out and make concessions, including on significant legislation, the prevailing attitude has been one of resistance rather than cooperation.
