There are three guests on this week’s episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show.

M. Steven Fish is a professor of political science at the University of California, Berkeley. His new book is Comeback: Routing Trumpism, Reclaiming the Nation, and Restoring Democracy's Edge.

Professor Fish explains how Donald Trump and the Republicans use a high dominance leadership style against the Democrats and liberals and progressives, and why to this point they have been unable to effectively defeat it. Fish also explains why “when they go low, we go high” is such a horrible strategy against authoritarians and fascists such as Donald Trump and the other members of today’s right wing.

Professor Fish counsels Vice President Kamala Harris and her advisors about how she can best counter Trump’s leadership style (and then defeat him and the MAGA movement) by adopting her own high dominance leadership style that is inspired by such Democratic and liberal-progressive titans as President Johnson, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Dr. Lance Dodes is a former clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and a training and supervising analyst emeritus at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute.

He explains how Donald Trump’s obviously unwell mind and personality are appealing to his cultists and why they see him as a type of god and savior. In addition, he shares his advice about emotional health and well-being in these troubled times and why people succumb to addiction and other unhealthy coping mechanisms.

Dr. Dodes also evaluates if Chauncey DeVega’s habit of going to Trump Tower several times a week (as a way of confronting Dictator Donald Trump by proxy) is a healthy or unhealthy coping mechanism.

D. Earl Stephens is the former Managing Editor at Stars and Stripes and the author of Toxic Tales: A Caustic Collection of Donald J. Trump’s Very Important Letters.

He returns to the podcast to reflect on his feelings about the whiplash effect of these last few weeks and how President Biden’s stepping aside and passing the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris may impact the 2024 Election and our chances of saving American democracy from Donald Trump and the neofascist MAGA movement and their forces.

Chauncey DeVega reflects on how time has been broken during these last few crazy weeks here in America and the Age of Trump and the importance of remaining grounded. Chauncey also shares some new polling data about the whiplash effect and Kamala Harris’s lead over Donald Trump in the 2024.

And Chauncey shares his thoughts about this year’s WWE SummerSlam pay per view and the art of storytelling, why he is even more concerned about his beloved New England Patriots, and offers some reviews about the new movies Longlegs, Deadpool and Wolverine, and Sing Sing.
