This week, I am joined by Ross Benes, author of "Rural Rebellion: How Nebraska Became a Republican Stronghold". We talk about the book and how modern politics and social media have widen the ideological gap rather than narrow it.

We also talk about the impeachment trial of Donald Trump, the latest Q-Anon conspiracy, Trump's actual COVID condition, and the CDC's guidance on school reopening.
