Roads & Rabbit Holes: Why They Split Our Neighborhoods: The Gerrymandering

In this episode of Roads & Rabbit Holes, Cody and Colin are joined by Corey, who is stepping into the political arena as a candidate for District 26 in New Mexico. We dive deep into the "mystery" of running for office—from the reality of door-knocking at 6:30 PM to the bizarre world of gerrymandered districts that split neighborhoods (and even universities) in half.We also go down a few rabbit holes on global power structures, the influence of central banking, and the concept of "middle management revolts" happening worldwide. Whether we're talking about the transition from scarcity to abundance or the impact of drone warfare, we’re looking for the truth behind the headlines.stick around until the end as we talk about the power of faith versus action and why "closing your eyes and praying" isn't enough when there’s work to be doneChapters00:00 Introduction and Campaigning Journey03:01 Challenges of Door-to-Door Campaigning06:05 Building Community Connections08:58 Gerrymandering and District Dynamics11:59 Engaging with Constituents15:13 Political Landscape and Church Involvement18:01 Navigating Church Politics20:57 Conclusion and Reflections23:50 Geopolitical Dynamics and Global Alliances26:47 The Role of Factions in Global Politics29:55 Faith, Agency, and Human Action32:53 The Intersection of Faith and Action35:49 The Nature of Reality and Human Perception38:47 Political Systems and Governance41:59 The Illusion of Control in Governance44:57 Opportunity Costs in Political Discourse47:54 Community Engagement and Collective Action01:04:15 Confrontation and Personal Growth01:05:56 Cost-Benefit Analysis in Conflict01:07:16 Weight Loss and Self-Image01:08:18 Fifth Generation Warfare and Media Manipulation01:13:09 Political Dynamics and Grassroots Movements01:25:09 Understanding the Power Structures01:31:27 The American Citizen's Role in Global Affairs01:31:46 Cultural Perspectives and Historical Contexts01:33:46 Manipulation and Power Dynamics01:34:46 Cartels and Political Influence01:36:46 Intelligence Operations and State Politics01:38:48 War Strategies and Global Politics01:41:59 Historical Management of Power01:43:45 Competition and Control in Society01:48:33 Violence and Materialism in Politics01:52:28 China's Role in Global Dynamics01:53:27 Future of Political Narratives US military, diplomacy, intelligence operationsSupport the Crew: If you enjoy the content and want to help keep it coming (and keep me home with my family), check out: 🎯 Patreon: Exclusive perks, early access, and direct support starting at just $5/month https://www.patreon.com/roadsandrabbitholes👕 Merch: Road Crew tees, hoodies, and more via Printify https://roads-and-rabbit-hole.printify.me/Thanks for watching, commenting, and being part of the crew.
