Political Strategist Justin Horwitz is joined on The Really American Podcast by broadcaster / comedians Chip Franklin and Kenny Hesse to discuss how Donald Trump and Elon Musk have been weaponizing chaos and justice against Democratic institutions with little pushback. This all-new episode is hilariously insightful, exploring the unprecedented challenges America faces as Trump lays waste to our democracy. 


Our hosts touch on Elon Musk and the GOP’s alarming attempts to discredit and dismantle watchdog protections, as well as leveling false accusations against Democratic groups like ActBlue. And discuss how these tactics echo authoritarian practices seen throughout history.


We’ll also analyze the economic anxieties being made worse by Trump, including inflation, stagnant wages, and increasing the national deficit. The team takes a hard look at the ways Democrats failed to effectively communicate Biden’s economic successes and stresses the need for a stronger focus on progressive economic policies to elevate the Democratic Party platform.


Chip, Justin, and Kenny assess the bizarre relationship between the Musk and Trump duo, and theorize that Musk's controversial behavior, much like Trump's, is done intentionally to deflect their critics. And we’ll point out how their dominance of news media has been weaponized to shape public perception.


Lastly, our hosts address how, from nuclear threats to compromised federal agencies, Trump's policies have made America less safe.
