On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan discuss the pervasive nature of the sexual revolution before introducing Hillsdale College Politics professor Kevin Slack. American politics have drastically transformed over the last few decades as a ruling elite has emerged that, despite being from different parties, largely shares radical ideologies centered around identity politics. The change is not simply the natural conclusion of progressivism, but rather a series of radical movements that have provided new ideas and shifted the Left from the liberalism of Franklin Roosevelt to the Great Awokening of Barack Obama’s second term.  While the liberals held permissive views regarding sex in society, the sexual revolution sought to liberate repressed sexual drives, not merely through a “talking cure,” but through the expression of and action upon sexual desires. This led to a breakdown of the traditional family.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
