I do this podcast like a radio show to discuss new information in real-time. Ultimately, this podcast may be a documentary-style time capsule about this election from one person’s point of view.

This isn’t just about insults—it’s a way to divide people, stop them from voting, and get certain groups to support them out of fear.
