About this listen

In this episode, we get into the rhetoric and ideology used in the 2024 election. We discuss former president Trump's comparison to a controversial messiah figure similar to Cyrus, the calling for Christian/White Nationalism, the American people's frustration with current and former power systems, as well as the roles religion, gender, ethnicity, and identity have played and will play in political discussions, regardless of who will win the presidency.
