Republicans loathe democracy, and can't win on the basis of their kiss up/kick down ideology - so they must sow racial division and lies. Now, they're even attacking democracy itself as "rigged."

Without gerrymandering, voter suppression and money in politics, we might actually have a pretty decent civilization.

Instead, we have a sh*t show where grifters, freaks and racists have entirely too much power and never address the real problems we face - like climate change - lest the offend their paymasters.

We discuss the ridiculous attack on Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez for wearing a nice jacket to work... and Trump's complete uselessness. While California burns, Trump continues to embarrass humanity and suck at everything he does.

We discuss the another week of madness.

On the next State of Belief Radio, new hate crime data from the FBI paints a dark picture of our nation. We’ll get the thoughts of Simran Jeet Singh, a senior religion fellow at the Sikh Coalition, who’s written about the report for Religion News Service.

Also, a conversation perfect for the upcoming season: AJ Jacobs, the author of an inspiring new book titled Thanks A Thousand: A Gratitude Journey.

And the executive director of the Pittsburgh Islamic Center, Wasi Mohamed. His community stepped up to aid and comfort the families devastated by the bloody attack on the Tree of Life Synagogue in that city.
