THIS IS REVOLUTION＞podcast Ep.201: The War for Red America w/ The Hoot And Holler Podcast

Donald Trump has been, at least temporarily, defeated. Yet, as the events of January 6th have demonstrated, his followers are far from being broken. Indeed, many still cling on to the belief that the 2020 presidential election was stolen by a cabal of Democratic operatives and their Republican collaborators. In response to their failures on a national level, Trump Republicans, including former Trump advisor Steve Bannon, are waging a war on those they deem to have sold out their leader. This has been manifested in a renewed effort at grassroots organizing across small town America. The frontlines of this conflict are electoral precinct officers, town councils, law-enforcement, and school boards. How is this conflict playing out in small town America? What are the political battle lines being drawn with Republican dominated regions? And what does this mean for the left?   Pat Squatch is an artist and welder, mutual aid organizer and semi-professional political busy-body who has been living in the Ozarks since he was 11 years old.    "Hoot 'n' Holler is a podcast about national and local politics, news, religion, and culture in the Ozarks region of Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, sometimes Kansas, and never Illinois. Along with co hosts, Taylor Hern, Joshua Arnett, Harvey Day, the four leftist Ozarkers with various political and religious upbringings try to make sense of the world through the cultural and historical lens of their quixotic geographical region." https://linktr.ee/hootnhollerpod   About TIR Thank you, guys, again for taking the time to check this out.
