We're back for Season 2! Now that Trump is gone, I am looking forward to seeing what we can get done. But first, a mea culpa on the damage done by the now former president and his followers. In this first episode of the second season, we're joined by guests Dr. Kristopher Norris and Reverend Elijah Zehyoue who walk us through the various groups that supported Trump and how they fit into the narrative of our nation.
