Author and commentator Kevin Williamson joins Eric and Joe this week to discuss his new book, The Smallest Minority: Independent Thinking in the Age of Mob Politics. As our political life breaks down into a team sport, how does one avoid becoming just part of the mob? Did we underrate the value of strong political parties and smoke-filled rooms? Is getting publicly fired by The Atlantic a good career move? Is social media making our problems worse, and even if it is, can we do anything about it? If journalism is getting worse, how much of that is because the audience doesn’t want good journalism? Is going to the mattresses on Trump impeachment just another example of mob politics?
