There’s a deeper tension here that doesn’t get talked about enough.

If democracy is under threat, then persuasion matters more than ever. But a lot of political writing reads like it’s designed to signal correctness, not change minds.

The uncomfortable question is whether we’re optimizing for being right… or for actually winning durable public trust.

Because history is full of moments where the “right side” lost anyway.
