In this powerful episode of The Whole Ass Podcast, Phillip, Ava, and Ria dive into the tangled emotions and stark realities of America’s political landscape post-election. From nostalgia-fueled college memories to unpacking why voters align with Trump despite his divisive rhetoric, this episode blends humor, frustration, and unfiltered truth.

Together, they examine why fear and self-preservation continue to drive political choices, the Democratic Party’s missteps, and the systemic biases that keep America in a political tug-of-war. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by the state of the country, you’re not alone—but what can we actually do about it?

This conversation is raw, real, and packed with insights that challenge listeners to stay engaged, informed, and ready to take action.
