S2 Ep1054: Adam Serwer, Lauren Egan, and Justin Jones: The Attack on Knowledge

I don't know who that might be, but I think when they tried to do all this negative stuff on Obama, he had an ability of redirecting or responding in a way that was extraordinarily effective.

Trump was telling people he was going to get them their FEMA money that, you know, Biden and Harris were giving to illegal immigrants. And now he's like blocking FEMA money for everybody. You know what I mean? Like there is a gap between what these people thought Trump was going to do and what he's actually doing. Like a lot of people say, you know, we need to get rid of the criminals.

He's going to focus on the criminals. Why do you think, you know, why do you think it's racist? Like you're being crazy. There is a gap between Trumpists and Trump. There's a reason why he disavowed Project 2025 during the election and is basically implementing it now. But those people still want to like him.

I think it's interesting because it feels like it's downstream of at least somewhat of education polarization. But at some point, you sort of wonder when actual policy views are going to intervene here. But it really does seem like we're floating on vibes in some ways. So if...
