Ep. 1.2.19: Chasms (Gulfs, Canyons, Divides...America

THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS

This Week’s Discussion:

In this week’s episode we ring in the, shall we say promise, of the new year.  We address the tremendous chasm between the two sides in this country right now, and the role of communication in creating and expanding this divide.  NASA can send a ship to the edge of the solar system to study a block of ice, and Americans can elect Donald Trump President.  The continuing government shutdown is further evidence of the divide in this country, as Trump seeks to placate his brain dead base.  The new Democratic House majority unveils its progressive agenda to promote democracy and the interests of citizens, and thus highlights the divide with the GOP that is seeking to undermine both.  Both the GOP and reality continue to demonstrate the intellectual bankruptcy of core Republican ideology: market efficiency; limited government; Republican managerial and fiscal responsibility; states' rights; supply side economics; the superiority of the rich.
