What if America's political future hinges on the growing divide between urban and rural areas? Join us for a fascinating discussion with Jack Atherton as we dissect the aftermath of recent elections and their profound impact on national dynamics. Our exploration takes us through the historical shifts post-World War II that spurred suburbanization and the rise of multinational elites, redirecting economic focus away from local industry. We scrutinize the policies of both Democrats and establishment Republicans, and examine Donald Trump’s influence in morphing the Republican Party into a populist movement centered on the middle class and boosting private sector growth. With optimism, we consider the potential for maintaining congressional majorities and the economic upsides of Trump's tax policies, while critiquing cultural shifts that challenge traditional American values in education, media, and the arts.
