The Politics of Disagreement with Steve Inskeep
In a time of a divided House (and divided GOP) \u2014 not to mention polarized social media \u2014 how can you engage through disagreement? Abraham Lincoln may have some clues, as Steve Inskeep deduces. The journalist and host of NPR\u2019s Morning Edition has a new book, \u201cDiffer We Must: How Lincoln Succeeded in a Divided America,\u201d which details the political life and legacy of Lincoln through the lens of disagreement and understands how the 16th president practiced politics skillfully in order to assemble a majority and navigate the country through The Civil War. Kara and Steve also imagine what Lincoln\u2019s social media feed would look like, compare him to Donald Trump and Joe Biden and grapple with whether \u201cobjectivity\u201d is the best north star for journalism today.\xa0\n\nQuestions or comments?
