Democracy Left on Read

<p><strong>This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum discuss one of the United States&rsquo; main exports: rightwing populism.&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>While the U.S. is constricting imports from other countries (with serious shortages looming), we continue to be a major exporter of culture, including MAGA culture. We can trace rightwing populist ideology&rsquo;s spread AND learn a thing or two for our own movements.&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>We&rsquo;ll revisit a question we posed on a past MiniPod: should our podcast feature conservative guests? Our hosts have thoughts on this one y&rsquo;all.&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Tens of thousands of government employees are set to be re-classified as &ldquo;schedule F&rdquo; political appointees by the Trump administration. Glancing at Project 2025&hellip; This looks like preparation for mass layoffs at the Federal government.&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Finally, Angela gives us an update on the State of the People tour. She&rsquo;s on a quest to find the apathetic voters!&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Join the tour in a city near you: </strong><a href="https://stateoftheppl.com/"><strong>https://stateoftheppl.com/</strong></a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>CNBC article predicts the impact of tariffs: </strong><a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/28/empty-shelves-trucking-layoffs-lead-to-recession-in-apollos-trade-war-timeline.html"><strong>https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/28/empty-shelves-trucking-layoffs-lead-to-recession-in-apollos-trade-war-timeline.html</strong></a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>And of course we&rsquo;ll hear from you!
