This Matters with Bill Britt

Why modern politics is failing us—and how to fix it

A politics built only on opposition eventually loses purpose, replacing leadership, vision and belief with outrage and endless conflict.

Being against something is not the same as believing in something.

Politics today is full of opposition, outrage, fear and blame. But what happens when anger becomes a substitute for vision?

In this week’s “This Matters,” Bill Britt asks a question too often missing from modern politics: What do our leaders truly believe in?

Because a country cannot live on anger alone.
