What is Real Right Now: A Conversation with David Rothkopf
Instead of having a meltdown and getting mired in every potential crisis coming from the next administration, we have to see the big picture while taking action at the local level. Ask yourself: What is real right now, and what can we do about it? That while Trump and his henchmen can do vast amounts of damage to our institutions, our way of life, and our rule of law - damage we must be on guard for and fight against - as we work to restore American democracy one of the most important things to acknowledge is that it’s always been flawed. That we have always favored the select few over the many and that, in itself, must change. That this new kleptocratic, oligarchic government will only highlight what has always been true, that this country was created to favor an American aristocracy, but with good leadership and proper messaging, we can wrestle the power back with the majority of the nation behind us. There is no doubt the monsters will overreach, we simply must make be sure their hubris is their downfall.
We know the mainstream media has let us down, so independent work like mine needs your support more than ever. The extremists have been able to shape the minds of too many people in this nation because the far right invested in their voice. Please give us a chance to fight back.

Pains in the Ass for Democracy: A Conversation with Indivisible’s Leah Greenberg
The Trump administration’s goal is going to be to divide and conquer. To isolate us from each other and break our resolve and spirit, but Indivisible believes, that if we stand together, we can protect our families, our neighbors, and our democracy. That our shared future depends on every day Americans choosing to fight back. To treat an attack on one of us as an attack on all of us, and they’ve written a Practical Guide to Democracy on the Brink to help us do just that. The Guide is a set of strategies and common sense steps for anyone living in America feeling upset, scared, or determined to do something. This is a hopeful and fired up episode for those of us done mourning and ready for action.
Mainstream media has let us down, so we need to support those doing independent work more than ever.

Do Not Become Hopeless: A Conversation with Robert Reich
As today’s guest, Robert Reich reminds us, wishful thinking won’t save us from what’s coming, but neither should we bury ourselves in cynicism. The truth is, the bottom 90% of the country have been ignored for 50 years and while Trump might have spoken to them and swayed them, he will not help them. So this is not the time to give up. This is the time to use every lever of power to stop the worst of authoritarianism from taking over and to stand behind the people and organizations fighting for our country’s integrity, its principles, and our freedoms. Perhaps we can even use this destruction as an opportunity to build something better.

American Democracy is not promised to us and, with all the forces working against it, saving it will take a level of work most people aren’t ready for. The Politics Girl Podcast is here to give people a reason to care and a reason to fight. Our goal is to inspire. To instill in people a true understanding of what this country COULD be, if the right people were fighting for it, and what it WILL be if they don’t. It’s a political podcast yes, but more than that, it’s a podcast about America’s potential, where one passionate, and slightly mouthy, immigrant attempts to motivate the country to become what it promised to be but, so far, has yet to become. You’ll leave more knowledgeable, more engaged, and more sure that you, personally, can make a difference to the future of American democracy. Everyone’s got a little time for that right? Subscribe for new episodes every Tuesday. We’re in a fight for our country. We sure as hell better know what we’re fighting for. xo
