Anand talks with Ezra Levin of Indivisible about avoiding the fire hose of Trumpism, building power that counts, and helping the republic by talking to your uncle
I’d love to have some practical ways to let people know they’re being conned if it’s not by facts. And I can’t imagine people responding any more positively to the argument that they’ve been conned than they do to the argument that they have their fact wrong. So give me something to work with here.
Yes I loved this part of the conversation, and would also appreciate a practical discussion about how to implement the idea. Is it by asking questions? When and where appropriate to discuss such topics.
Many years in recovery has shown me that despair is what we wish for those caught in a hopelessly destructive mindset. Absolute despair is what brings people together looking for help.
A very helpful and insightful article. My assessment of Donald Trump is the dictionary definition of if you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit!
I've seen this movie too many times in my life, he's just put it on steroids. That's all!
I really liked Donal Trump is a barnacle on our progress. This radio show also available in pod cast ‘Your Call Radio’ on KALW is often just the thing you need.
Great discussion - I’m thinking of the song “the revolution will not be televised”. Armchair activism, moral purity, and academic elitism won’t get it done.
*and* my semi-regular PSA to this community :) - Rural Urban Bridge Initiative and Working America are getting crap done. Crafting a progressive movement focused on working class + rural communities.
In all the ink-spilling about Trump’s initial antics, I’m left wondering: What is happening to deal with the debt limit? The press is stuck in a reaction loop - what about the necessary and immediate requirements of the government, and the stories of the impact his ineffectiveness and incompetence is having on everyday people? (And how that grows the longer it continues)
I needed and appreciate the insights from these two distinct perspectives. Thank you!

This is a must-listen discussion! I’m sharing it and quoting it as much as possible, and I hope you all will too.

Such insightful analysis. I will need to read this several times to absorb these points. Thank you.
