The conversation continues. In Part Two of last week’s discussion, Peter Dyga and Sonny Maken dig deeper into confirmation bias and how it shapes the way people interpret politics, economics, and public policy.

This week, they examine the growing influence of democratic socialism, the divide between political messaging and policy, and what Sonny calls “luxury beliefs.” From government-run grocery stores and the realities of socialism to education, business experience and the difference between fact and opinion, Peter and Sonny ask a fundamental question: What happens when facts challenge what we already believe?

In this episode:

• Confirmation bias and political ideology
• Democratic socialism and today’s Democratic Party
• Political messaging versus actual policy
• Government-run grocery stores and economic realities
• “Luxury beliefs” and who bears their consequences
• Credentials, education and real-world experience
• Boris Yeltsin’s eye-opening visit to an American supermarket
• The importance of separating fact from opinion
• Elections, public policy and voter responsibility
