Robin Peguero on The Strategy Behind Political Chaos

In this grownwoman segment, Robin Peguero breaks down how misinformation, nonstop political chaos, and voter fatigue push people to disengage and why that disengagement is exactly how democracy erodes. He explains how constant distraction is a strategy, why people feel misled rather than malicious, and how checking out creates space for authoritarianism to grow. This is a grounded conversation about staying engaged without shame, rebuilding trust in the democratic process, and why participation still matters even when people feel exhausted and disillusioned.
