Next Episode: Adam Serwer on The Cruelty is the Point
As Republican governors like Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott send migrants to Democrat run cities and the Supreme Court's conservative majority evades long-standing legal procedure, Atlantic staff writer Adam Serwer discusses how the cruelty of these practices is still the point.
His bestselling collection of essays, "The Cruelty is the Point," argues the Trump administration effectively used cruel policies to rally its supporters. Now out on paperback with new writing, The Cruelty is the Point: Why Trump's America Endures, brings Serwer's premise to the latest issues in politics.
