Here's Episode 136 of Michigan's Premier Progressive Podcast!
00:00-06:32: MAGA Working Class Frauds
Pat opens the this week's show explaining how MAGA Republicans, especially MAGA Michigan Republicans, are working class frauds. Whether it's the MAGA Murder Budget that rips away Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and food assistance spending for cutting Elon Musk's taxes, or if it's ripping away a farmer's property rights to save their land, MAGA Republicans work only for their corporate masters.
06:33-33:00: Joan C. Williams "Outclassed" Interview
Author Joan C. Williams joins the show to talk about her new book, "Outclassed: How the Left Lost the Working Class and How to Win Them Back." Professor Williams gives examples of how progressives and Democrats lost touch with working class voters, and explains how MAGA Republicans utilize class warfare to win elections. Her book is a guide on how progressives can build a multi-racial and class-conscious movement to achieve progressive goals. And she doesn't sugarcoat how Democrats' embrace of failed neoliberal policies lost working class voters in Michigan and the country.
Also, visit The New Class Bubble Quiz that Professor Williams created to gauge where you class bubble you fit into. Reveal: Pat is 50% working class culture and 50% culturally elite.
33:01-49:10: Last Call: Pat's Interview Takeaway
In the "Last Call," Pat provides some takeaways from his discussion with Professor Joan C. Williams on where he agreed and somewhat disagreed with her ideas. Overall, Williams is spot-on because Democrats keep losing the working class, and a shift is much-needed.
