What we cover:

✔️All in Podcast almost broke up and we learned some good lessons from them on how to manage our podcast.

✔️We are big fans of The Atlantic and explain why

Roe v. Wade - what we discuss:

✔️At this point we all probably know who is suffering the most from this, but we reiterate just to be sure.

✔️This is not about abortion; it's about a political strategy that started in the nineties.

✔️Something big happened in 2009 - Social media took off, and so did viral dynamics (we give you some shocking stats on social media's role in this).

✔️Something big happened in 2010 - Republicans learned how to use abortion rights as a long-term strategy tool.

✔️Authors of a study called "Hidden Tribes" reveal the differences between devoted conservatives and traditional conservatives. You'll understand the difference and why your childhood in the 90s felt so good!
