About this episode
Dave and Brian discuss the implications of a Princeton study on American representation and its connection to conspiracy theories.
A 2014 Princeton study revealed that average American citizens rarely, if ever, get legislation they care about passed. Predictably, this lack of representation leads to a wide variety of conspiracy theories. This week, Dave and Brian jump right into the middle of one of the biggest. Tune in to hear Dave and Brian explain to a person living 70 years from now what living in this moment is like. Do you want to be unsilent?
