In this episode, Nate and I talk about philosophy and stoicism — We break down how these ideas apply to everyday life, especially when you’re surrounded by nonstop political noise.
From there, we get into the state of modern politics: the “right vs. left” tribal mindset, the way social media pushes people into emotional extremes, and how political targeting online is shaping the way Americans think, argue, and even vote. No sugarcoating — just an honest look at how divisive things have become and why it feels like everyone’s being pushed to pick a side.
It’s a grounded, straightforward conversation about thinking better, reacting less, and navigating a world that feels engineered to make you angry.
Nate is co-host of the Podcast Manistee County Democrats on YouTube.
