Why Christianity's Decline Explains Trump’s Rise | Jonathan Rauch on Faith, Democracy & MAGA Feb 20, 2025

In this thought-provoking episode, Jonathan Rauch, senior fellow at Brookings and author of 'Cross Purposes: Christianity's Broken Bargain with Democracy,' joins Matt to unravel the seismic shifts in American politics and culture.

From Mitt Romney to Donald Trump in just four years—what happened to America? Explore how the collapse of Christianity, the rise of social media, and the loss of faith as a "load-bearing wall" in democracy have fueled MAGA, Trumpism, and a post-Christian right.

Rauch, an atheist, who is Jewish and gay, offers a unique perspective on why Christianity’s core tenets—'don’t be afraid,' 'imitate Jesus,' and 'forgive'—are vital to liberal democracy, and how their abandonment has left a void filled by secular "religions" like QAnon and woke ideology.

We dive into:

-- The unprecedented "de-churching" of America since 2012

-- How fear-driven evangelicals traded Jesus for political power

-- The surprising link between faith, community, and a healthy republic

-- Why secular liberalism alone can’t answer life’s big questions

-- And MUCH more!

Will Trump's Policies Trigger a Backlash? Feb 11, 2025

In today's episode, we're joined by Pat Dennis, President of American Bridge 21st Century, the leading Democratic super PAC.

Here's what we discuss:

- The Impact of Trump's Administration: We delve into specific instances where Trump's decisions could lead to significant public discontent, like the potential mishandling of government agencies and the implications for everyday Americans.

-- The role of charisma vs. campaigns: How much does the charisma of a presidential candidate matter compared to the strategic use of campaign tactics and opposition research in down-ballot races?

-- If there's a brewing backlash that might favor Democrats in upcoming midterms, especially given the demographic shift towards highly educated voters who are more likely to turn out.

-- The New Media Landscape: How the rise of podcasts, YouTube, and social media platforms has changed political campaigning, with Pat sharing insights on adapting Democratic strategies to this new reality.

-- Hope for the Future: Pat Dennis offers some perspective on where to look for signs of change, focusing on real-life impacts of policy decisions that could mobilize voters.

Dear Dems: Act More Like Trump! Jan 28, 2025

In a revealing discussion on political strategy, Matt Lewis interviews Joe Jacobson, the founder of Progress Action Fund, a Democratic Super PAC that champions the provocative motto, "When Republicans go low, we go lower."

Jacobson advocates for Democrats adopting a more aggressive, relatable communication style, akin to Donald Trump's, to resonate with everyday Americans.

Key insights from the podcast include Jacobson's critique of the Democratic Party's past reliance on civility and moral high ground, which he argues has been less effective in the current political climate. He emphasizes the need for Democrats to "show" rather than "tell" through impactful advertising that directly illustrates policy impacts on personal lives, like privacy in reproductive rights.

The conversation delves into the importance of pop culture and media presence, suggesting Democrats should leverage platforms like podcasts and UFC events to reach demographics outside the typical liberal media bubble. Jacobson also discusses the upcoming DNC chair race, highlighting candidates like Ken Martin and Ben Wikler, and the need for a chair who can galvanize the party with fresh, bold messaging strategies.Read Jacobson's latest column for The Hill, The new DNC chair needs to act more like Donald Trump," here: https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/5103438-democrats-average-american-disconnect/
