In this episode, I talk about how the timeless human impulse of nostalgia has manifested in politics, focusing on how it has enhanced ethnoreligious nationalism and defined the rhetoric of right-wing parties, drawing on examples such as the German Volk and Trump's call to Make America Great Again.

Thank you to Ian Prasad Philbrick for his article on 'Trump's Nostalgia Boom' which led me to uncover other ways nostalgia influenced politics.
