What do Democrats actually stand for when opposition to Trump becomes the party’s strongest unifying message? Michael Glawson joins us to examine the Democratic Party’s crisis of identity, the dangers of political resentment, and why winning elections without a larger sense of purpose may not solve the deeper problem. We also look at how political hatred reshapes both parties, what Democrats risk becoming if anger becomes their organizing principle, and why shared community still matters. Michael makes the case for radical love as a political discipline that can challenge opponents without losing sight of their humanity.
