Episode 64: Uncivil Agreement by Lilliana Mason - Deep Dive Book Review
Manage episode 454074829 series 3621787
Today's Deep Dive review is of Uncivil Agreement: How Politics Became Our Identity by Lilliana Mason, who argues that American politics is increasingly defined by social identities rather than policy positions. Mason contends that this "social sorting" has led to greater animosity and division between Democrats and Republicans, as their partisan identities have become intertwined with their racial, religious, and ideological identities. This has resulted in a political climate where winning is more important than achieving policy outcomes and where citizens are more likely to react with anger and enthusiasm based on their group affiliations.
