Start Me Up: Rachel Bitecofer

from Start Me Up with Kimberley A. Johnson Hosted by Kimberley A. Johnson

Rachel is back and her new book is titled Hit 'Em Where It Hurts: How to Save Democracy by Beating Republicans at Their Own Game, and she's the co-host of This is America on The Cycle on Substack. Topics: The 2026 midterms--where the focus needs to be, and will there even be elections? Musk’s possible third-party threat would hurt GOP if he actually goes through with it; Democrats are progressing in their fight against fascism, but the party as a whole is still not getting it; MAGA is currently unraveling over the Trump regime claim there is no list or that it’s a “Democrat hoax,” but will it last or does it eventually go away? If we want to win, it’s up to us to make sure the people in our lives who aren't paying attention understand what’s happening.
