America Has Fallen Podcast

Originally aired June 3, 2025, and yet Republicans continue to dump all over the most marginalized. Laura and Linda chat about using Ring Theory to improve communication skills, rather than the Republican Party's cruel use of Reverse Ring Theory against its fellow Americans. 

In this episode, the ladies discuss all the things MAGA has made them thankful for. And then, because you can't keep up with this shit, they quickly added a segment about MTG's resignation before posting.  

This week, the gals discuss: How the Democrats caved; Schumer stepping down; John Fetterman; CBombs and Gaslight Glares; The physics of politics; and allowing NYC to be the canary in the democratic socialist coal mine.  

Linda's on her own and vowed not to make this a "dark pod" like the last time she recorded alone. Instead, she gives you 20 minutes of random thoughts regarding some of the headlines this week.  Enjoy!

In this episode, Linda and Laura discuss various pressing issues that keep them awake at night: The implications of unchecked presidential powers, the complexities of voter responsibility, and their fear that the podcast is starting to trigger listeners. They discuss the ways they unwind and share some funny political bits that keep them laughing during this disturbing time in American History. 

Open to the possibility that ghosts exist, the only vampires they believe in are the energy kind. Laura and Linda explore how our Left Brains keep us separate, yet our Right Brains connect us, and the heaviness of being connected to those with moral indifference. They can't help but wonder how this heaviness is affecting our activism and ourselves. 

Why is the go-to assumption that the Government is Bad? As if working in the private industry means never having to rub shoulders with inefficient, unqualified, lazy, annoying co-workers. The ladies discuss the efficiency, transparency, and accountability of government services, the importance of local government, and the need for a more nuanced understanding of the role of government in society.

The ladies needed a break from the daily chaos of American politics. But try as they might, the conversation turned dark, 'cause that's how they roll.  But at least they can laugh about it and hopefully you will too.  

The ladies discuss Charlie Kirk, free speech, societal hypocrisy, and the reactions to the deaths of public figures. They delve into personal experiences with racism, the role of empathy, and the impact of public figures on collective grief. The conversation also touches on the future of free speech in America and the challenges of navigating political discourse in a polarized society.

Summary

Laura is pissed! She and Linda explore collective outrage in America. They distinguish between lateral and vertical outrage; ponder what, if anything, happens to our country if we can't collectively despise or find joy in the same things; and talk about the 3.5% rule regarding nonviolent resistance.

Linda and Laura discuss the impact of COVID-19 on immunocompromised individuals, explore the abundance of misinformation surrounding vaccines, and traditional versus alternative medicine. They debate ways to keep everyone safe, now that personal liberty has taken precedence over public health. And whether or not Laura tried to kill Linda when they hung out so soon after Linda's latest infusion.  

The ladies explore the profound impact of MAGA politics on their personal lives and relationships, and what they miss about who and how they used to be before being traumatized by Trump 1.0 and 2.0.
