Episode notes
Trump's Populist Paradox
- Voters support seemingly opposing figures like Donald Trump and AOC due to anti-establishment sentiment.
- However, Trump's populist appeal is questioned, given his history of favoring the ultra-rich.
Vibes Over Verity
- Danielle Moody argues that declining trust in experts and rising misinformation have created an undereducated populace.
- This has led to voters making decisions based on "vibes" rather than facts, particularly about economic issues.

- This messaging should emphasize that Trump won't lower prices and that the current economic struggles aren't Biden's fault.
