  • #20 - What is Really Behind Overturning Roe v. Wade

    Follow us on Insta

    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!
