169 – Unsolicited Advice with Blake Fischer

With the 2024 elections in rearview both parties are trying to grapple with what lessons they should learn.  Who better to offer unsolicited advice than Josh Lewis and Blake Fischer, the respective hosts of the Saving Elephants and The Homeless Conservative podcasts?  As two Trump-skeptical conservatives on the outside looking in, sure both parties are eager to hear their thoughts on how both parties should proceed in the elections ahead.   In this episode, Josh and Blake take a deep dive into what went wrong and what went right for the Republicans in 2024 and what might help them secure their newfound majorities for elections to come.   But wait, there's more!  This episode is the first in a two-part series.  In part 2 Blake puts Josh on the hot seat to ask what lessons the Democratic party should take from their 2024 losses.  But you won't find that conversation on the Saving Elephants podcast.  Instead, it appears as a special cross-over episode on Blake's The Homeless Conservative, which you can listen to here.   About Blake Fischer and the Homeless Conservative   Blake Fischer is a political junkie, so you don't necessarily have to be. A lifelong conservative, Blake covers conservative policies, current politics, and the historical context of today's events. With a unique blend of media critique and a focus on the big issues that often go unaddressed, Blake offers insightful solutions to pressing problems without the fear-mongering or populist outrage used in mainstream political media.   Blake says, "I know a lot of people who would consider themselves more conservative than liberal, but don't like Trump and feel like there's nowhere for them in the Republican party. Welcome to the club! But if that's you, I'd encourage you to not check out completely because we need reasonable citizens in this country to pay attention and vote accordingly if we want to change the direction of government and politics."   Blake lives in Oklahoma and is the creator of The Homeless Conservative.
