Desi Lydic unpacks Donald Trump's big presidential election win over Kamala Harris and the subsequent fingerpointing from media pundits. Plus, The Best F**kin' News Team joins Desi to try to muster up some optimism. As the country reacts to the outcome of the 2024 presidential election, a select group of non-voters have distanced themselves from the presidential race. Grace Kuhlenschmidt talks to these political in-activists to learn how not to give a f**k about politics. Award-winning author, sociologist, UNC professor, and New York Times opinion columnist Tressie McMillan Cottom sits down with Desi Lydic to unpack the outcome of the presidential election. They discuss Trump feeding on American anxieties, his simple and relatable story of empty hope, accepting identity politics as American politics, Trump as the embodiment of our masculinity crisis, and how Democrats can avoid playing the blame game and make peace with their voters' identities and beliefs.
