The Big Rocks
We don’t have problems that we can’t solve…together. That’s the truth. In WW2, a scrapy upstart of a country stepped into the largest war that the world had seen until then, and did what needed to be done. From the women working at home in factories to the rationing of food and gas, whatever needed to be done to fight a war that wasn’t even ours, we did. That’s the spirit of this great nation. When rocks land in our way, we move them.
Climate change is just another rock. Mass shootings…another. But we can’t seem to move them. Why? The answer is obvious: we’re not working together. There are people lying to us, lying to our friends, who want nothing more than to line their pockets or eke out a little bit of power. It’s sad that such people exist in the world, but what’s even more sad is that they are skilled liars, and have corrupted the minds of a lot of this nation’s good people. We can’t continue like this. We just can’t.
The Great Replacement
Do you ever wonder why we can’t seem to get this immigration thing sorted? Well, one huge clue might have to be that the majority of one political party (yes, GOP) has been espousing White Replacement Theory. During this episode, Chuck and Christina discuss some of the ins and outs of WRT, and some of the routine mistakes we make with regard to immigration that prevent the integration of our communities and allow BS stereotypes to continue to gain traction.
