Democrats as the Party of the Rich? Republicans as the Working Class Party? Guest: Yuval Levin

Ashton is joined by one of the most astute thinkers and observers in American politics today, Dr. Yuval Levin. Ashton and Yuval have a fascinating discussion focusing on what the hell has gone wrong to American politics and American society. In particular, the two discuss: why US politics have become so polarized and if reasonable voices will prevail in the future; why every aspect of American society has become politicized; why seemingly every member of society’s “elite,” across every industry, shares the same opinions as each other and increasingly oppose the viewpoints of ordinary Americans; how the two parties are shifting their voting bases; why the Republican Party is starting to resemble the New Deal Coalition while the Democratic Party now resembles the Eisenhower coalition; how the ruling gerontocracy is failing the United States and what the country will look like once the octogenarian ruling class is out of power; and much more.
