This week, we have something special: a look-back on some of our favorite episodes from our inaugural year as a podcast, the very eventful 2016. Our selections for this retrospective aren’t random, however. Given the great political significance of 2016, we’re going to focus today on some episodes that shed light on the presidential election. What happened to the Republican and Democratic Parties in 2016? More broadly, how has conservatism changed in the past forty years, and liberalism too? Given thee changes, how did Donald Trump become president-elect? And, finally, how will the left respond to Trump’s ascendance?
