Democrats, Republicans, progressives, conservatives, and libertarians all have a vision on how to make America (and the world) a better place to live in, yet instead of working together, they’re constantly screaming at each other. Individuals who are passionate about politics tend to engage in some form of tribalism where their loyalty to a certain group has created a breakdown in civility.

 

My guest is Andrew Heaton, he’s a comedian and host of “The Political Orphanage.”

 

On today’s show, we’re going to analyze how bad civility in politics has gotten from tribalism, how it’s evolved in the age of social media, and what can be done so that people aren’t going at each other’s throats.
