Chris Cuomo takes on one of the most overused labels in politics right now: being a “real one.” He argues that what passes for authenticity on both the right and the left has devolved into hot talk, algorithm-driven outrage, and performative aggression that feels powerful online but delivers nothing in real life. From MAGA’s unconditional loyalty to Trump to the left’s growing temptation to mirror that same rage, Chris explains why anger has become the currency — and why it’s collapsing under its own weight.
Chris makes the case that voters don’t want louder insults or more viral takedowns — they want results they can trust. He breaks down how outrage culture fuels political extremism, distorts priorities, and rewards people who talk tough without solving anything, while punishing those who focus on affordability, stability, and coalition-building. In the end, he argues that being a “real one” isn’t about right or left — it’s about rejecting the algorithm and choosing reality over rage.
