***At the beginning I say "This episode will be short..." I changed my mind, about a minute later.***

How often do we mistake social media activism for genuine political resistance? Join me on the Jack Hopkins Show as I share my journey from a lifelong Republican to a committed Democrat, challenging the performative nature of online activism within the Democratic Party. Through my experiences with social media "acid tests," we explore how emotional responses can pierce through societal facades to reveal true motivations and beliefs. This episode is a candid reflection on the complexity of human psychology and the habitual fronts we present in everyday life.

(This episode is not linearly presented. I go in whatever direction is prompted by my thoughts. If you want a "Get right to the point" episode, this is not the one for you. If you are interested in listening to how my brain works, and how I can let it take me places...and just go with it, then you might really enjoy it.)

What role does age play in leadership, and how should it influence our political decisions? We tackle this critical question, focusing on the implications of electing older leaders like President Biden and the responsibilities of Vice President Harris. By addressing the physiological, neurological, and psychological aspects associated with aging, I argue for honest assessments beyond political correctness to preserve democracy. Through a lens of transparency and accountability, we confront the power dynamics of anticipatory obedience and its potential to erode democratic systems.

Authenticity in communication is more crucial than ever, especially in politics. Throughout this episode, I emphasize the importance of unscripted dialogue and genuine self-expression. Drawing parallels with individuals who've faced similar challenges, I share my personal journey toward embracing authenticity, stressing the value of honest engagement even when it challenges leadership. Together, let's explore the power of being true to ourselves and the impact it can have on fostering meaningful connections in today's political landscape. Tune in for an hour and 40 minutes of engaging reflections, and find liberation in embracing your true self.
