What Do Democrats Stand For in an Age of Political Hatred?

What do Democrats actually stand for when opposition to Trump becomes the party’s strongest unifying message? Michael Glawson joins us to examine the Democratic Party’s crisis of identity, the dangers of political resentment, and why winning elections without a larger sense of purpose may not solve the deeper problem. We also look at how political hatred reshapes both parties, what Democrats risk becoming if anger becomes their organizing principle, and why shared community still matters. Michael makes the case for radical love as a political discipline that can challenge opponents without losing sight of their humanity. 00:00 Meet Michael Glawson 02:24 Why Democrats Have Lost Their Message 04:32 How Democrats Became So Fragmented 06:38 When Politics Becomes Personal Identity 12:14 Why Political Hatred Is So Dangerous 19:00 How to Love Your Political Opponents 28:50 Rebuilding Politics Around Community There's more stew on Substack! https://frogmorestew.substack.com/ Learn more about Frogmore Stew at https://www.frogmorestewsc.com/ On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frogmorestewsc on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@frogmorestewsc Frogmore Stew is brought to you by The Alliance Coalition The Alliance Coalition works to redistribute power back to YOU, the voter.
