Here are the links to the Stories in this episode:
- Donald Trump was found guilty, convicted of 34 Counts
- Pod Save America: New Polling on Trump’s Felony Conviction
- Immigration | Gallup Historical Trends - And since many of you may not read the results, here’s the summary: immigration is a big deal, but America is split on “why” it is a big problem and “how” to solve the issue. Across the board, most Americans favor positive immigration reform, while at the same time supporting a way to stem the illegal flow of immigrants across the border.
- Abortion | Gallup Historical Trends - Most Americans support pro-choice, Mifepristone availability, and strongly disagree with the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe V. Wade.
- LGBTQ+ Rights | Gallup Historical Trends - While most American’s are in favor of gay rights they still believe about half of America is still against gay rights. A testament that we’re probably still dealing with the legacy of the stigma of open sexuality. When it comes to Trans rights and Gender re-assignment, most Americans are uncomfortable.
- Race Relations | Gallup Historical Trends - Not much of a surprise. White Americans mostly think race relations are “somewhat good to somewhat bad” whereas Black Americans see race relations as “somewhat bad to very bad.”
- Quantifying the rise of America’s far right (economist.com) - “Data published by the Centre on Extremism […] showed that all 25 extremist-related murders in its database from 2022 had connections to the far right.”
- Political Polarization in the American Public | Pew Research Center - This is an older article, to illustrate that Trump did not create the divide. However, he has taken advantage of it with his rhetoric, and there is a correlation to note between his rise and the deepening divide.
