Welcome to the Real Talk with JAM Podcast! U.S. politics have taken a drastic turn since the last episode release on May 1, 2022, where John and Marcus get right into discussing the implications of the leak of the draft opinion from SCOTUS related to Roe v. Wade. This discussion leads to looking at the continued growth of the use of extremely divisive wedge issues by the far right to gain unilateral support from its base in preparation for the midterm elections. Lastly, the hosts (attempt to) analyze the motivation behind why some people are so aggressive in trying to use the government to enforce their own conservative values and beliefs, regardless of how such efforts negatively impact the rights and quality of life of others, especially those in marginalized groups. Tune in for a fresh perspective!
