Why do “us vs. them” narratives work so well — and how do we push back without playing “whack a mole?” During Monday's #FirstMondaysWebinar, we explored new research on “othering” — one of the Right’s most powerful strategies for pitting Americans against each other and gaining power.

Our latest #FirstMondaysWebinar explored how culture shapes our understanding of democracy — and why that understanding is key to protecting it. We discussed 4 forces pushing us toward authoritarianism: othering, distrust in institutions, distortion of facts, and religious & nationalist movements.
