Linda and Laura explore the concept of 'Stranger Danger' from their childhoods in the 70s and 80s, discussing how it shaped their perceptions of safety and fear. They delve into the misplaced fears surrounding strangers versus the real threats in Trump's America. The discussion also touches on the role of media in shaping public perception, the complexities of cultural identity, voting against your own, undocumented self-interest, and the looming threat of authoritarianism in America.
