Raw, factual, and straight from the source, the elegance of President Biden and the Ukrainian Ambassador is contrasted with the comments of President Trump about Russia and Ukraine and the other sources of disinformation on the Right. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/democracyunderfire/support

Leftist Messaging to Avoid: Real Messaging to Save Democracy Part 2

We need the whole of America on our side if we have to resist another authoritarian take over of America. We must never let our nation be overthrown and ruled by a dictator. We need the support of Americans and American institutions if we are to save democracy and the American way.  In part one of the three-part episode, I present messaging designed to reach out to moderates and conservatives or to at least not alienate them. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/democracyunderfire/support

From Q to Christian Bogeyman: "Peril" Part 3

Rich Procida leads this second part of our discussion of "Peril" by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa. What are the lessons for those of us on the Left? Are both the Left and the Right caught up in their own propaganda? Is one side may be more pernicious and deceptive? While propaganda is often half-true, as we have seen some can be completely false, such as conspiracy theories and the "Big Lie." Many people simply follow the leader. How do we awake from false beliefs we don't believe we have? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/democracyunderfire/support
