The Ground War: Jacob George on Grassroots Survival and the Battle for the Next Generation

The 2026 election cycle is here, and the "sticker shock" of the 2024 results proved one thing: money alone doesn't buy movements. In the final part of our series with Unity Rising founder Jacob George, we expose the failure of "AstroTurf" organizing and the urgent need for a relational comeback in Arizona. We dive into the max exodus of men from the Democratic party, the populist pipeline from Bernie to Trump, and how Project 2025 is designed to turn the next generation into worker bees instead of critical thinkers. Education and mentorship are the only barriers left against systemic failure. Listen to learn how Unity Rising is building a succession plan to reclaim the future.
