Today, Host Reed Galen and Jeff Sharlet discuss the current state of American politics a decade into the Trump-a-scene era. They explore the consolidation of Trumpism, the challenges of political engagement, and the importance of community building in the face of rising political violence and disillusionment.

The discussion emphasizes the need for local action and resilience in democracy, contrasting the right's effective community organizing with the left's struggles to mobilize and engage.
