Inside Political Science #024 – “The Entire Destiny of Humanity”

If it feels hard to keep up with the whiplash of politics these last few weeks, you’re not alone! Kirby and Todd are back with a new episode about everything happening: from tariffs and the constant battle between free trade and fair trade; to Elon Musk proclaiming that “the entire destiny of humanity” rests on a Wisconsin Supreme Court election. Plus, is President Trump’s ‘third term’ discussion a distraction ploy, or is he serious - and are Democrats taking the bait? And why are right-wing podcasts so much more popular than left-wing podcasts? Later in the episode, Kirby is joined by George Washington University professor Dr. Christopher Warshaw. They discuss why state and local politics are so complicated to study and why they don’t get as much attention as national politics. Stay for the end to get a little nugget from Kirby and Todd as they explain why Californians moving to Texas likely won’t turn Texas blue.
