Intro

American political parties go through periods of upheaval about once a generation. Since around 1980, we’ve been in the sixth party system. But that system, sparked by Southern whites leaving the Democratic Party, appears to be coming to an end. What happens next will tell the story of a generation and a new chapter for America. In this episode of The Depolarizers, Lauren Harper Pope is in conversation with Marshall Kosloff, who hosts The Realignment, a podcast covering the transformation of American politics in the wake of Donald Trump's 2016 victory. Marshall and Lauren discuss political realignments, how Democrats can regain an advantage with voters, left and right populism, alternative media, the Abundance agenda, and more.
