Why Cynicism Is Killing Democracy

from This Matters with Bill Britt · host Alabama Political Reporter

Wisdom questions, but cynicism dismisses—and that difference matters more than ever. When a society stops believing improvement is possible, trust collapses, participation fades and democracy becomes vulnerable. This episode makes the case that progress has always depended on people willing to believe better outcomes are still worth fighting for.
