Challenges of Going Up Against the Establishment and Superficial Issues vs Deeper Problems

The speakers explore the difficulties faced by a political candidate, 'the vake,' as they confront the strategies used by the system to hinder outsiders. They highlight the shallow focus on trivial matters instead of addressing the deeper issue of the establishment versus anti-establishment divide. The chapter also covers a report on police officers misusing public equipment for human smuggling and shares the surprising results of a poll on first-time Iowa caucus goers' support for candidates like Nikki Haley and Donald Trump.
