The Crisis of Liberalism

Why is liberalism in crisis? Jeremiah discusses why people seem to be turning away from liberal principles on both the left and the right. He also talks about the importance of being ruthless within your own party, the benefits of liberal nationalism, and why technocratic competence still matters - and how liberals can tell the stories that will inspire people like they used to.
