The Right-Wing’s Rejection of Reality | Episode 267 (November 20, 2020)
Channel: The Humanist Report
Date: 2020-11-22

In this episode, we’ll continue our discussion about the prevalence of reality denialism by right-wingers as they lurch further and further to the right—and the election isn’t the only aspect of reality they’re rejecting. Republicans are carving out their own reality and attempting to force us all to live in it. We’ll discuss that—and more—in this episode.
