In this episode of Shootin’ the Breeze, Micaela tackles a hard-hitting topic: how modern politics are being shaped by loyalty over leadership and billionaires over ballots. Using Donald Trump’s recent endorsement of Jimmy Patronis for Florida’s 1st Congressional District as a jumping-off point, she examines the growing trend of prioritizing personal alliances over the needs of the electorate.
Micaela also dives into the role of Elon Musk’s PAC and its potential impact on the democratic process, raising critical questions about whether concentrated wealth and power are eroding representation. From breaking down the differences between democracy and oligarchy to sharing practical ways for listeners to stay engaged, this episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the future of our political system.
