Gaslit Nation
Civil litigation in Georgia revealed that operatives hired by allies of Donald Trump illegally accessed and copied critical election software following the 2020 election. This wasn't just an isolated incident but a multi-state effort that spread to places like Pennsylvania, Colorado, and beyond. The stolen software, which is responsible for recording and counting votes, was shared across states, compromising election systems in key swing states. Despite the severity of these actions, which posed significant threats to the integrity of future elections, federal authorities—specifically the...

info_outline 2024 Election SpecialGaslit Nation
Was the election stolen? Yes. Through voter suppression; a criminal lack of institutional support, especially after MAGA stole voting machine data from Georgia; a dominant far-right echochamber across all media platforms; several Russian operations including buying MAGA influencers; oligarch consolidation; mainstream media capitulation; and good old fashioned racism, misogyny, and homophobia and transphobia that has long plagued this country. Why did so many Democratic Senators in battleground states win when Kamala Harris didn't? One reputable pollster explained to Andrea that it's...

Russia is hoping to kick our already chaotic political circus into overdrive, but here’s the twist that the Kremlin—along with many white male pundits—completely missed: women across the political spectrum are furious. Whether it’s the GOP’s authoritarian fantasies, including femicide, or the media’s endless obsession ignoring women’s humanity, women in every state across America are punching Nazis in the ballot box, driving out a historic early vote....

info_outline A Confederacy of Psychopaths: Trump and His EnablersGaslit Nation
The MAGA cult represents a profound public mental health crisis. Since 2017, Dr. Bandy Lee has raised the alarm about the pervasive influence of Donald Trump's psychopathy on his followers, coining the term "Trump contagion," and it may have affected people in your own circle. In her urgent book, The Psychology of Trump Contagion, Dr. Lee argues that the mental health implications of Trump's MAGA movement are significantly underestimated. With her extensive background in public sectors such as prisons and state hospitals, she has observed how toxic influences can spread. Rather than...

This week's show also answers a pressing question from a listener. Democracy Defender Patreon supporter Melissa asks: “If you or anyone else has any good reads to recommend on the Green Party and its origins, would love to read it as they are clearly now a Kremlin owned and operated effort to divide and conquer the left.” Melissa, we’ve got you covered! Check out our Jill Stein Voter Guide Super Special.
If you know someone considering a vote for Jill Stein, share this special episode highlighting her troubling track record of hypocrisy. Despite being labeled a “peace candidate,” Jill Stein is a multimillionaire profiting from investments in the military-industrial complexand fossil fuels.
Interestingly, the European Green Party has called for Jill Stein to withdraw from the race and endorse Kamala Harris, stating: “With wars raging and authoritarianism on the rise, Europe needs Kamala Harris as President of the United States—a reliable partner who can take urgent action on the climate crisis and foster a just, sustainable peace in the Middle East.”
The European Green family, which consists of Green parties across Europe, has emphasized that their values starkly contrast with those of Jill Stein’s (fake) Green Party. In their statement, they criticized the US Greens for their connections to authoritarian leaders and diverging policies, particularly regarding Russia’s genocidal invasion of Ukraine.
