Great conversation! On the first question (around the 8 min. mark), I also think a lot of the backlash against expert institutions is against the elitist space they exist in, which carried an ethos of looking down at the "deplorables", disregarding the experiences and agency of the non-college educated blue collar.
In Canada, the discourse or rather, the lack of discourse, that existed between Prime Minister Trudeau and the trucker convoy sparked a frenzy and occupation of Ottawa.
Labelling and calling truckers names—and ignoring their grievances around vaccine passports (justified or not)—shifted truckers to seek out epistemic sources that helped them make sense of their experiences.
Wonderful conversation, what a duo!
