The tech billionaires of Silicon Valley and the Midwestern rural
poor wouldn’t seem to have much in common. But somehow many of them
have united under the MAGA umbrella. Kara brings together two
reporters who have written about the opposite sides of the MAGA
coin to talk about the role of social media in fueling enragement,
why tech billionaires and poor Americans are coalescing around
issues like education, the press and more; and how to bridge the
political divide. Her guests are: Beth Macy, a newspaper reporter
for three decades and the author of five non-fiction books,
including her most recent: Paper Girl: A Memoir of Home and Family
in a Fractured America. Jacob Silverman, an independent journalist
with a focus on tech, political corruption and illicit finance.
He’s written three books, including his most recent: Gilded Rage:
Elon Musk and the Radicalization of Silicon Valley.
