Social Trust, Self-Silencing, and the Future of America

Lost Debate

Ravi welcomes back Populace CEO Todd Rose to discuss his latest study, the Social Pressure Index: Private Opinion in America. Together, they unpack the disconnect between public opinion and private beliefs on critical issues shaping American society and politics.

From education reform to immigration policy, Todd and Ravi examine how the study's revelations challenge conventional wisdom about the nation's ideological divides. They explore America's fixation on meritocracy and the unexpected resurgence of traditional values, the country's declining trust in institutions, and what the study's findings may suggest about the upcoming presidential election.
