“How did we go Barack Obama to Donald Trump?” Mugambi Jouet attempts to “make sense of the polarization of American Society” in his new book – Exceptional America. A historical perspective on the forces behind the bitter divisions reshaping our society. A former public defender Mugambi speaks on the changes in our attitudes on crime and punishment, and on the deleterious effect of propaganda. What does American exceptionalism really mean?

A lie is as powerful (good) as the truth, if you can get someone to believe it.
