About this episode
<p>We typically divide the country into two distinct groups: Democrats and Republicans. But what if the real political divide in our country isn’t between “left” and “right”?

This week, we bring you a favorite 2020 conversation with political scientist <a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/comm/people/regular-faculty/yanna.html">Yanna Krupnikov</a>, who offers an alternative way to understand Americans’ political views.</p><p>For more of our reporting on the intersection between politics and psychology, check out our episode about <a href="https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/passion-isnt-enough/">political hobbyism</a>.
