Make It Make Sense with Grant Hermes
America's Revenge Politics w/ Paul Starr
Grant is joined by Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, co-founder and co-editor of The American Prospect, Princeton professor Paul Starr.
Paul is the author of the new book American Contradiction: Revolution and Revenge from the 1950s to now (link below). He talks about how we got to this moment of retribution and revenge, how it's different from how political scores used to be settled, and why Americans have stricter rules for Democrats than Republicans when it comes to who gets to get revenge and why that matters.
