    The 2016 Election, False Realities, & Political Burnout
    Dec 18 2025

    In today's episode, we'll be diving into the polarizing 2016 election, how it played out on social media, and how those two factors impacted Gen Z. Each of us were being spoon-fed exactly what we wanted to hear by the algorithm, and when reality didn't match up with our feeds, our generation experienced a sense of shock and betrayal we're still reckoning with today. Along with getting into the history of the content, I offer some must-hear advice toward the end of the episode in my weekly segment, 'Reality Check'. Subscribe to hear more episodes!
