Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Jonathan Haidt Returns (on the Anxious Generation)

One of my friends, a woman who ran Heterodox Academy for a while, one of her students said to her, my motto is silence is safer. And to be a college student, have that be your motto? There's a real problem with the culture. And since people often felt that at work and they felt it in many environments, I think that's part of what led to the general shift away from the Democrats.

What I think is so important in the election results is the fact that the shift from Democrats to Republicans happened in almost every group, including Asians, Black men at least, Jews. Every group shifted. And that means there's a pervasive problem. That's what the Coddling the American Mind was about.

That's what so much of my work has been about since 2004 was trying to say, look, Democrats, you need to understand moral psychology. You need to understand why it is that most people care about immigration in ways that you don't. Why it is that people care about family and tradition.

But let's go through the timing. There was a time when that was true. So I was born in 1963. It just blows my mind that when I was born, it was legal to discriminate against black people in a large part of the country. I mean, that was written as a law. Let's go decade by decade. 1973, the change is unbelievable. The legal change. Now you've got the women's rights movement.

The gay rights movement has started. environmentalism, animal rights. You keep going, 83, even though you have Ronald Reagan as president, socially, the country is still, you know, the advances in acceptance of every possible group. Go to 1993, even more so. By 2013, when I turned 50, our first black president has been reelected. Gay marriage, it's been legalized in many states.

Supreme Court's about to rule on it. Trans rights are coming into view, and those are quickly recognized by the Supreme Court. And so in 2013, if you are a young progressive, You should look back on this history of when marginalized people used to have to be quiet or stay in the margins. And you should say, wow, what incredible progress every decade since 1963.

Whatever we're doing in America, let's keep doing it because it's amazing. That's not what happened. That's exactly when an element of the left became much more radicalized. And you can see it in graphs. You can see that it's young white people on the left, especially, suddenly moved way to the left on issues of race and immigration, way to the left of black people.
