How 4Chan Took Over the Republican Party with Elle Reeve

Here's a harsh truth: the internet is real life. The toxic mix of misogyny, racism, and anti-democratic sentiment that has been festering online for years has now blatantly spilled over into the rhetoric of Republican politics. But how did the online right-wing become so extreme and unhinged? To explore this question, Adam sits down with journalist Elle Reeve, author of Black Pill: How I Witnessed the Darkest Corners of the Internet Come to Life, Poison Society, and Capture American Politics. Together, they discuss how incels, mass shooters, and white nationalists found fertile ground to grow on the internet, and how their influence has seeped into the broader political landscape.
