Episode 49: “A Renaissance of Liberalism.” MAGA’s meltdown. Celebrating immigration, peaceful protest and banjos! Starting out the new year with special guest Schuyler Windham, Chair of the Nebraska Liberal Party, the Commonwealth Classical Liberal Podcast discussed the internal divisions within the Republican party regarding immigration and visa policies, confusion among Democrats, and discussed Liberal Party USA as the pro-immigration party, with a focus on the importance and value of immigration for the economy and American culture. The team also reflected on the political violence of the January 6th riots and emphasized the need for a more peaceful and constructive dialogue in politics. The pod closed with some parting thoughts and Schuyler’s passion for Bluegrass and Newgrass music and emphasized the importance of immigration as a key issue for the Liberal Party, U.S.A. and its state affiliates.
