Recommendation

In this episode of The Ezra Klein Show podcast, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Spencer Ackerman and Klein trace the corrosion that the War on Terror has wrought on American political culture. Ackerman pulls no punches in this sobering, penetrating conversation, as he indicts conservatives and liberals alike for contributing to a pervasive, entrenched culture of fear and rage. Anyone with an interest in politics or recent American history will find this a compelling analysis.

Take-Aways

  • America’s War on Terror introduced a way of thinking that now pervades US politics.
  • Donald Trump both expresses and exploits America’s embrace of this “fear narrative.”
  • Under Barack Obama, the War on Terror became entrenched.
