  • Summary

  • Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Wajahat Ali, columnist, public speaker, author of Go Back to Where You Came From: And Other Helpful Recommendations on How to Become American, and co-host of the Democracy-Ish podcast, to discuss the recent Presidential election results. We examine the factors behind Trump’s unexpected victory, from the GOP’s powerful media network to grievance-based messaging. Ali critiques Democrats’ coordinated strategy, while figures like Joe Rogan and Elon Musk rallied young people, fostering an 'us vs. them' culture. Together, we dissect Trump’s lasting appeal despite his divisive, authoritarian tactics and warn of the dangers his consolidation of power poses for free speech, minority rights, and judicial independence. We stress the urgent need for resistance and the media’s role in safeguarding democratic values.
