Listen Later

If you feel like we're divided, you're not wrong. Dr. Sturg takes you though the strategic manipulation of public opinion through the wedge strategy.

This week, explore how politicians deliberately create and weaponize wedge issues to manipulate voter emotions, exploit social tensions, and even reshape the political landscape.

From the civil rights movement to the COVID-19 pandemic, this episode provides a comprehensive analysis of how political actors try to force you onto a team and shows you how to recognize when you're being manipulated.
