“Some people just want to watch the world burn” is an iconic line from the 2008 Batman film “The Dark Knight,” but for some Americans, it's more than just a line, it's a reflection of how they actually feel about the country's political system.That's according to new data from the Center for Political Communication at the University of Delaware, which finds that a number of people in the U.S. have what researchers call a “need for chaos,” and it's those with these views that are placing more trust in figures like Elon Musk, President Trump, and the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.This week, Delaware Public Media's Kyle McKinnon spoke with UD Professor of Communication and Political Science Dannagal Young about how this “need for chaos” is fueling support for Musk and Trump, and what it reveals about the state of U.S. democracy.

How Social Media Hostility Impacts DemocracyTogether with our guest, Ariel Hasell, a leading expert in media, communication, and political psychology, we unpack how the outrage fueled by hostile political posts spreads across social media platforms, driving polarization and shaping public discourse based on findings of the research paper "When Social Media Attack: How Exposure to Political Attacks on Social Media Promotes Anger and Political Cynicism." We discuss the role of engagement algorithms in amplifying political bias, the emotional toll of online hostility, and how anger and cynicism influence voter behavior and perceptions of democracy. From the distortion of news to the mental health challenges tied to social media use, this conversation sheds light on how the digital age is transforming our understanding of political differences, often escalating conflicts rather than bridging divides.Join us as we explore strategies to counteract the divisive effects of media outrage and promote healthier, more productive engagement in a world increasingly shaped by social media hype and political extremes.

Today we take a deep dive into the Amsterdam Jew Hunt that went down last Thursday night and into the early morning hours of Friday. That it happened in Amsterdam should surprise no one. That there will almost certainly be copycat Jew hunts in Europe and elsewhere should also surprise no one. That young Muslim men and perhaps slightly older taxi drivers planned and coordinated this pogrom on various chat platforms should also not surprise anyone. Although it did seem to catch the Amsterdam police off guard—in spite of several advance warnings from Israeli securityservices. In this special podcast State of Tel Aviv speaks in depth with three very different people, each bringing profound insight and knowledge to this critical historical moment. Pieter Dorsman is a Dutch-Canadian businessman and blogger who has lived in Vancouver for decades now but grew up in the Netherlands. He happened to be visiting family near Rotterdam when this attack occurred. We start with him and then speak with David De Bruijn, Professor of Philosophy at Auburn University in Alabama. A native son of The Hague, De Bruijn pulls no punches when discussing the “polite” antisemitism among the more traditional Dutch—and the very explicit, vulgar form of Jew hatred that prevails among Muslims in the country, many of whom are second, third, or fourth generation. These violent antisemites are not “new immigrants” as much of the media has erroneously portrayed them. Lastly, we speak with Eitam Zach, a young Israeli man who has lived in the Netherlands for almost six years now and is very spooked by how life has changed since October 7. And by this latest madness. Throughout this podcast we get into European sport culture, how the Holocaust is ever-present in the minds of Dutch Jews, and how the restrained, “tolerant” Dutch people have managed and mismanaged the integration of so many Muslim immigrants over the decades.

Send us a textThank you for being here for this important and timely conversation! Part 5 delves into the development of extreme political beliefs and the impact they have on personal relationships, particularly within families. It explores the roots of political extremism, including social alienation, emotional appeals, and the "us versus them" mindset. These factors often drive individuals to adopt extreme views, which are further fueled by disinformation, conspiracy theories, and the influence of charismatic leaders.Political extremism is marked by a rigid worldview that rejects compromise and sees opponents as enemies. This episode explains how social identity theory plays a role, with extremists deriving a sense of belonging and moral superiority from their political affiliations. This makes them more likely to dehumanize others and justify harmful actions.Social media, with its algorithms designed to create echo chambers, is a major factor in amplifying extremism by continuously reinforcing existing beliefs. Disinformation and conspiracy theories further radicalize individuals, deepening polarization and resistance to opposing viewpoints.The episode also offers strategies for communicating with political extremists in families. Key approaches include active listening, empathy, avoiding direct confrontation, and focusing on shared values. Gradually introducing factual information, respecting autonomy, and setting boundaries are also emphasized as effective ways to engage without escalating conflict.Ultimately, the goal is not to immediately change an extremist's mind but to create an environment where open dialogue is possible, helping to preserve relationships despite deeply ingrained differences.Dr. Jennifer Brubaker is a professor of Communication Studies at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, and teaches and publishes in both Family Communication and Political Communication. “Reframing the Conversation” is a six-part series that focuses on addressing the challenges that families face in communicating across political divides.

Part 3 explores the critical role of media literacy and political socialization in shaping individuals' political perspectives. Political socialization, a lifelong process influenced by factors such as family, education, peers, religion, socioeconomic status, and major events, plays a central role in how individuals develop their political beliefs. Family is highlighted as the most influential factor, with schools and peer groups also playing key roles in fostering critical thinking and exposure to diverse ideas.Media, particularly social media, has transformed how political information is consumed and shared. The document stresses the importance of media literacy, which involves critically analyzing media content to recognize biases, misinformation, and persuasive techniques. The rise of social media platforms has created echo chambers where users are often exposed only to information that aligns with their existing beliefs, further deepening political polarization.To combat misinformation and enhance civil discourse, the document emphasizes the need for critical thinking skills, fact-checking, understanding media ownership, and recognizing manipulative techniques in political campaigns. It underscores how media influences public perception, shapes political discourse, and impacts voter behavior, making media literacy an essential skill for informed citizenship and maintaining a healthy democracy.Dr. Jennifer Brubaker is a professor of Communication Studies at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, and teaches and publishes in both Family Communication and Political Communication. “Reframing the Conversation” is a six-part series that focuses on addressing the challenges that families face in communicating across political divides.

Part 2 explores the growing political polarization in society and its impact on family relationships, emphasizing the importance of understanding how political divisions have intensified. It traces the evolution of media, from traditional gatekeepers like newspapers and radio to the rise of social media, which has exacerbated political dissension by creating echo chambers and spreading misinformation. The episode explains how platforms like Facebook and Twitter have deepened societal divisions by reinforcing users' pre-existing beliefs, leading to selective exposure, perception, and retention of information.It also highlights the role of cognitive biases, such as confirmation bias, in shaping political opinions and creating a fragmented society. Historical examples, such as the 1828 U.S. election, are used to demonstrate that political negativity is not new but has intensified due to the evolving media landscape. The discussion outlines the "perfect storm" of modern factors, including the media environment, the COVID-19 pandemic, civil unrest, and political events like the 2020 U.S. election, which have led to unprecedented political dissension and strained family dynamics. Theories like Social Judgment Theory and Cognitive Dissonance are introduced to explain how people become entrenched in their political views, often rejecting contradictory information that threatens their core identity.By understanding these factors, individuals can improve their communication strategies and work toward healthier discussions in their families, focusing on empathy, active listening, and reframing conversations to reduce polarization.Dr. Jennifer Brubaker is a professor of Communication Studies at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, and teaches and publishes in both Family Communication and Political Communication. “Reframing the Conversation” is a six-part series that focuses on addressing the challenges that families face in communicating across political divides.

It emphasizes the importance of reframing conversations around sensitive political topics to promote understanding and connection rather than division. The rise of political absolutism, where individuals adopt rigid "black-or-white" thinking, has created a significant strain on personal relationships.The episode explains how political beliefs have become closely tied to personal identity, with political affiliation often seen as an indicator of a person's character or moral values. This shift has contributed to an environment where political discourse has become more hostile, with many people segregating themselves into echo chambers that reinforce their pre-existing beliefs. Social media, the 24-hour news cycle, and media bias have amplified these divisions, making it harder for individuals to engage in respectful, productive discussions.To address this, the episode advocates for improving communication strategies within families. It emphasizes the need for empathy, active listening, and a focus on understanding others' perspectives. By prioritizing relationships over winning arguments, families can foster healthier political discussions and work toward repairing strained relationships.
