In the latest episode of “This Matters with Bill Britt,” Britt examines what happens when decency loses its power in American politics.
Britt argues that laws, rules and elections matter, but a free people also depend on unwritten restraints—the belief that some things should not be done, even if they can be done.
The segment focuses on the disappearance of shame, restraint and conscience from public life, and why misconduct becomes more dangerous when leaders and their supporters refuse to be embarrassed by it.
At its core, this episode asks a larger question: not only what we are willing to win, but what we are willing to become.
