Shownotes Transcript

Ken Hughes of the University of Virginia discusses how Richard Nixon used the Vietnam War to polarize the American electorate, secure reelection, and turn America from a center left country to a center right one. In this conversation, we learn how much of US politics is about governing by misdirection, and the repercussions it can have for years to come.
