Welcome to your weekly dose of radical curiosity. Each [Monday or whenever it’s released], Civil Discord critiques the critics and tackles the top lines in news and society. Beginning with the premise that the ‘smallest common denominator’ of self-ownership is the greatest single driver of political, social, and cultural change, your intrepid co-hosts and colorful guests break down what individuals, communities, businesses, and finally institutions can do to find their footing, combat totalitarianism, and make their voices heard, wherever they stand on the issues. If you’re ideologically homeless, culturally tribeless, or tired of hearing the same rants about what’s not working, Civil Discord offers provocative counterpoints and fresh perspectives to keep you in the know, arm you with the arguments, and empower you to create the change you crave.

…That was REALLY supposed to be a play on “Animal Crackers in My Soup,” and then we fired our title-writing summer intern. Today we discuss the right and left’s reactions to the raid on Trump’s Florida estate and what it means that both parties are taking aim at Americans’ faith in our institutions—from a place of bad faith. How much, or what kind of, institutional distrust is a good thing? What’s the distinction between low faith and low trust? How should and shouldn’t we question the legitimacy of our government and government actors? We also pick apart the environmental provisions of the IRA Reduction Act and find that its eco-friendly promises are a lot of hot air. Finally, two more alphabet soup institutions lose two legendary actors: Dr. Science departs the CDCP; and Brian Stelter is ousted from CNN! We discuss.
