Secret Door to the Left

14 - The Night After

Listen Later

In Episode 14 behind the Secret Door, Alicia and Frances discuss their views on Election Night 2020.

They discuss their disappointment in the count not being more decisive, discuss their opinion that polling may now be obsolete, and (semi-)brag that they were right in believing abortion, the economy, and “law & order” would be big driving factors in how people voted.

So how did you feel about Election Night?  Were you surprised that it wasn’t a landslide? Or were you expecting it to be as close as it is?

You can comment, email, or message them to share with them your opinions and ideas.

Fun Moments:

  • Both Frances and Alicia blame Ryan for his optimism that the election outcome would be more decisive.
  • Alicia reads a great excerpt from @ThereseOdell’s 11/4/20 blog post at FoolishWatcher.com.
  • They discuss why they believe so many people voted for Trump again.
  • Should America move away from a 2-Party system?  Should there be parties created based on local interests?  Ex.: The Farmers Party; The Steelworkers Party, etc.
  • Alicia tells the story of losing her phone in Walmart and how her wonderful husband helped her find it.
  • Alicia makes a bold claim that she believes that the general population of America are ignorant which explains why so many people voted for Trump.  Frances tries to soften this statement.
  • How will the Trump presidency be remembered in history?
