Surviving Trump's Age Of Stupid
from Mallen Baker: Faultlines · host Mallen Baker
Trump came to power on the back of multiple disinformation campaigns and conspiracy theories. While there's some satisfying karma to see his administration being bitten back by one such conspiracy that MAGA promoted, the truth is that we now have a government that disparages expertise of all types, insists on dealing with other countries in profound ignorance of their outlook and position, and continues to weaponise disinformation. Is there any way back from this? Let's discuss.
