How the rural North came to embrace the Confederacy

We've Got Issues

This week, Joshua Holland kicks off the show with a report from Portland, where locals argue with their Fox News-loving parents over whether their city has really been burned to the ground--and fail to convince them that it hasn't.

Then we are joined by Will Wilkinson, a senior fellow, at the Progressive Policy Institute, to talk about how America's growing urban-rural divide--and rural America's embrace of Southern Culture--are redrawing our ideological battle lines from their traditional North-South axis.
