In the season finale, author and political theorist Laura Field joins co-hosts Archon Fung and Stephen Richer to unpack the ideas and beliefs of the New Right and their impact on elections, race, and public debate.
The New Right blends ideas from podcasters, academics, and think tanks that push against democratic norms and multiracial inclusion. Some openly deny election legitimacy, while others promote visions of a society rooted in Christian nationalism. And yet many Americans know very little about who these figures are or what they actually believe.
This week, co-hosts Archon Fung and Stephen Richer sit down with writer and political theorist Laura Field, author of Furious Minds: The Making of the MAGA New Right. Together, they explore the four main strands of New Right thinking and discuss how these ideas shape views on democracy, race, and public debate.
