Hey folks,

I went live with Joe Walsh and we sat with the ugliness of what Trump posted, what it says about where the right is headed, and why pretending this is “normal politics” is a trap we can’t fall into. This conversation got personal, blunt, and very real—fast.

Here are a few moments you’ll want to catch:

  • [00:01:04] Joe’s immediate reaction to Trump’s racist post—and why we can’t just scroll past it

  • [00:04:02] “Look at the image.” Why sitting with the discomfort actually matters

  • [00:10:43] Fascism, Nazism, and why language choices matter in persuading people

  • [00:15:28] Why Democrats lose culture fights—and how Republicans know it

  • [00:34:00] Trump threatening elections, third terms, and why we have to take him literally

Joe and I talk through why Republicans keep dodging accountability, why Democrats need to fight harder on values, and why authenticity—not poll-tested mush—is the only way through this moment. If you’re tired of tiptoeing around obvious truths and want an honest conversation about what we’re up against, this one’s for you. If you value spaces where we actually grapple with this stuff instead of sanitizing it, help me keep this going.
