It's all just a conspiracy.

This episode features a conversation between Brad and Dr. James LaPlant, a political scientist from Valdosta State University. Dr. LaPlant teaches a course on conspiracy theories, but did his dissertation on political identification. They discuss how people vote, veer a little into the Bob Woodward book, and then focus on the awful role conspiracy theories play in American politics.

Estate Sale: the selling out of American democracy
American institutions are under attack...and that means our democracy is at stake.
Democracy depends on a free press, a government for the people, a just legal system and separate-but-free church.

Yet, we have a corrupt U.S. president, a partisan Supreme Court, a power-hungry white evangelical bloc and a lazy press - which is revealing just how much our American values are being sold out.

With a lot of informative guests and a few F-bombs, co-hosts Laurie Lattimore-Volkmann and Brad Raley are going to change that.
