Today we discuss conspiracy theories and their role in American politics, with a look at their evolution from the Dark Ages and the Black Death, up to the modern-day and the rise of our Conspiracy Theorist in Chief. And we take a deep dive into how today’s political discourse has devolved into trolling your opponent instead of engaging with issues that impact everyday Americans. Also, we welcome a new member to the Trickle Up Politics team! Intro/Outro music credit: Back Turn by Shaolin Dub.
