Speaker Paul Ryan on Threats to Democracy

 

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) joined the American Enterprise Institute for a discussion on political philosophy and constitutional principles in an age of growing populism and identity politics. Speaker Ryan talked about how new media and technology have contributed to a rise in tribalism, which he said runs counter to the more traditional Republican beliefs in classical liberalism. He also advocated for a return to civil society in contrast to the prevailing “zero-sum” mentality now prominent in American politics.
