Summary: In this episode of the Framelab Podcast, Gil Duran and Dr. George Lakoff discuss the implications of Donald Trump's potential return to the White House in 2025. They explore the concept of strict father morality, its impact on American politics, and the failure of Democrats to effectively counter Trump's authoritarian appeal. The conversation delves into the pitfalls of identity politics, the importance of shared values, and the need for Democrats to understand the emotional underpinnings of political engagement. Ultimately, they highlight the challenges faced by progressives in a media landscape dominated by right-wing narratives and the necessity for a more unified and emotionally resonant political strategy. Takeaways: Strict father morality is a growing force in American politics. There is no true political center in the U.S. Attacking Trump often boosts his visibility and support. Voters prioritize values over self-interest in elections. Identity politics may not effectively mobilize voters. Democrats need to focus on common human needs. The right has built a powerful media ecosystem. Democrats must invest in emotional communication strategies. Positive emotions play a crucial role in political engagement. Understanding metaphorical thought is essential for political strategy. Sound Bites: "If you attack Trump, you help him." "Identity is not political destiny." "Democracy is emotional."

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
