Even though it seems like we're in a world of hurt for the next few years, David Rothkopf joins me to discuss why there are still pockets of resistance and optimism for those of us opposed to fascism.
Excellent arguments today,Waj, and David Rothkopfe's Substack platform is terrific. I'm inclined to agree with him, I think there's going to be a lot of infighting for the next couple of years, as you know, Republicans are famous for Eating their Own. Thank You, and Be Well 🙏 will reStack ASAP 💯👍
Two of my favorite insightful commentators with this incredibly positive message in one conversation!!!!!! Thank you David and Waj . . .both of whom I have come to love after being introduced to both of you as a listener of the StandUp With Pete Dominick Postcast. Thank you for your incredible work!!!!! Always a joy to hear voices of reason like both of yours.
Well I will believe it when they’re stopped in the fascist transition, colluding with a seditious House, in any attempts to cut Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Gaetz was the low hanging fruit. There is a lot of low hanging fruit.
His authoritarian bent, he will pile up more grievances between now and the swearing in to add to his retribution list. We are in a toxic war to save the American people’s livelihoods especially those in the working class and poor living in poverty, who are or will be priced out of their homes and forced into camps. E.g. pick a type of camp, homeless destitute and hungry.
Well and if we are depending on the Market to keep us from going under, they are already doing well while many many Americans are on food lines and homeless. They will keep some things in place but not enough to protect those who have the fewest resources and are living on the edge.
I’m of like mind with you. This upcoming administration is sounding like doom and gloom to all we are relying on to survive. I don’t get any warm fuzzies from what they are saying AT ALL! So what do we do now? There’s no opting out other than to leave the country.
I feel like the war on nonprofits is being ignored or underreported. It’s obvious to me that we won’t know stats on gun violence or domestic terrorist threats, any non christian religious or non white political nonprofits can be shut down. Even animal rescues, if Kristie Noem feels like it.
David Rothkopf makes many points I agree with. The logistics of deporting millions of people will at least reduce the numbers. I also echo the praise of AOC and see her as the lynchpin for real generational change in the Democrat establishment.

There is no way to fix the climate

I went door to door in Pennsylvania and many of us did
Thank you!!!!!
Because denial is so much easier than reality.

Donald won't have the mental wherewithal to run again. He barely had it this time.
History is full of mentally ill leaders. That won’t stop him.
This gives me some hope, thank you Waj!
Is this available as a podcast in the usual places?
I'd so much prefer to listen in my podcast app but I can't figure out if that is possible.
Substack sucks.
I have no optimism in the Democrat party. Sorry but they are not worth saving at this stage of their evolution to the right ...Chaney REALLY!
Progressives, folks with a soul and sentience, with feelings and empathy need to start a new party or join an existing 3rd party.
Two of my favorites!
Sorry you're going through Bell's Palsy (had to look it up). I hope you get better!! Thank you for all you do, love you both on Pete's podcast!
I hope you recover soon, Waj ☺️
Enjoyed the podcast immensely. Don't you think, based on American's attention span, that five minute podcasts would work better?
