Ranging Discussions

from Skeptical Thinker · host Jamie and Leah - Father and Daughter team of skepticists

Leah and I recorded this podcast about a week before the election. We had some cautious optimism, but alas things were not to be. So many people voted the man back into office, and he has made so many problematic claims and promises, that I thought that no one was that delusional to vote him into office. But the polls showed that he was popular and the thing happened. This strikes me as troubling because critical thinking is so important in our world, and many people lack that ability. I guess that we just need to put our heads down and keep plowing forward. Keep working in our own ways to create a safer and more sane world for all people. What is sad is that so many people think that we need to make America great again, and that we need to take America back, and that we need to save America. But what they don't realize is that we are losing our identity because of the ideology of the MAGA movement. We're creating a less perfect union that only has room for those who think, look, act, pray, live like them. I hope you enjoy this episode of our podcast. When we recorded it, we felt a little more positive about our futures, we hope that we can feel better as we move forward over the next few years.

Breaking Down: Collapse Kory & Kellan Apprehensive about the future? Like many, you likely have a gut feeling that things aren't quite right, but haven’t been able to place your finger on why. That feeling only grows with the increasing political tensions, economic uncertainty, natural disasters, and supply chain disruptions. What do all these challenges mean?
