Ep. 173: Separation Over Persuasion, with Jeff Deist

My guest this week is the President of the Mises Institute, Jeff Deist. We discuss one of the biggest silver linings that can be taken from 2020 and the COVID moment. It's time to take stock in what has happened and realize that trying to get a Rand Paul or a Thomas Massie elected at the Presidential level isn't time and money well spent. Is there a way in which we can choose to separate from the insane left rather than trying to persuade them with our abstract ideas? (Ideas that half of the population find abhorrent, to boot.) What can be done at a small local level? Can change be made there? We also discuss the need to have elite members of society push the ideas of liberty.
