Ep# 116 Emotional Democracy

In this episode of the Professor Liberty Podcast called "Emotional Democracy," the hosts tackle the idea of the cult of personality in politics. Our favorite social studies teacher explores how people often vote based on feelings—either loving or hating a candidate—rather than focusing on what those candidates actually do or their voting records. It’s a conversation about the risks of letting emotions drive our choices, which can lead to unfit leaders getting into power. The episode wraps up with a reminder for listeners to dig deeper and really research candidates, encouraging everyone to look beyond the hype and make informed choices.
