The Best Of The Left podcast is a recent discovery for me. It’s absolutely fantastic but they don’t make it easy to share their content.

This was a fascinating listen, which provides real insight into the life events, stories and attitudes which shape people’s attitudes to and support for Donald Trump.

Key take out: It’s complicated.

Today we dive deeply into the world of conservatives as described in the new book “Strangers in their own Land” by Arlie Russel Hochschild in an attempt to understand how some non-deplorable people in the country could be supporting Donald Trump.
