  • Out of touch

    Really this is a podcast for old white people to talk about the problems in America like they would at a dinner party and do nothing else meaningful to help or push back. In Trump’s America it’s people of colour that are the real target and these sorts of panelists care nothing about that.

    Someone just said that tearing down whatever Trump will build is irreversible. Of course not. It’s just that we can’t imagine another person as audacious as Trump, a person who would tear it down and build something in consultation with the American people.
