In this episode, Denée and Sean discuss the composition of Trump’s ruling class coalition, what binds the America First crowd with the Silicon Valley far right, and the importance of bursting the bubble of their fear campaign.

They also talk about the need for unity on the left, the practical difficulties of uniting with folks we disagree with over substantial issues (or who spent the last year and a half cracking down on the Palestine solidarity protests), and the new openings offered by the shift in terrain and meeting people on a human level.
