The irony of all the scaremongering around Republicans destroying democracy is that the people who are actually doing that are on the other side.
Imagine a circus, but instead of clowns and acrobats, you have politicians and voters. That's how the 2020 American elections felt to many. In this episode, award-winning journalist Trish Wood teams up with sharp-witted essayist Chris Bray to dissect the chaotic state of democracy in the United States. They tackle questions that have been on everyone's mind: Why do election results take so long to finalize? What's behind the tribalism that seems to divide the country more than ever?
And why is it taboo to even question election integrity? Trish and Chris dive into the murky waters of media influence, exploring how news outlets shape public perception and, ultimately, election outcomes. They also scrutinize the role of affluent female voters and how COVID-19 policies influenced voter behavior. The duo doesn't shy away from controversial topics, offering a raw and unfiltered look at what many see as a broken system.
With Trish's empathetic yet rigorous interviewing style and Chris's keen observations, listeners are in for an eye-opening discussion that challenges conventional narratives. Whether you're disillusioned by the current state of politics or simply curious about what goes on behind the scenes, this episode promises to leave you with plenty to ponder. Trish wraps up the episode with a heartfelt Remembrance Day moment, adding a touch of solemnity to an otherwise fiery conversation.
If you're ready to question what you thought you knew about American democracy, this episode is a must-listen.
