The Nova Society
We answer listener questions about the stories shaping today’s headlines and the social and political issues influencing our world. Our mission is to inform with clear, unbiased commentary grounded in critical thinking and analytical depth. Through thoughtful, in‑depth conversations, we explore current events and the challenges facing society, while still making space to enjoy the discussion along the way. We believe facts matter, and that misinformation and disinformation pose some of the greatest risks to an informed and healthy civilization.

The Psychology of Democracy with Dr. Stephen Ducat S4E236 12.01.2025
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today, we have our guest, Dr. Stephan Ducat. And our email is from Roger in Atlanta, Georgia, who asks: "I enjoyed the discussion about Trump’s mental status and that of his followers." But I don’t think the issues with the electorate were fully addressed. It is obvious to me that Trump is an authoritarian. Since the United States was founded as an alternative to authoritarianism, why do those who follow Trump and claim to love Democracy support someone who is obviously against everything Democracy stands for?
