#50 Democrats, January 6, and a ‘Don’t Surrender To Fascists’ Policy with Kaitlin Byrd

Kaitlin Byrd (Dame Magazine) joins me to discuss what the hell just happened on January 6, 2025.

In this episode, we will discuss:

• The easy concession by Democrats during the vote confirmation on January 6th
• Problems within the Democratic party and the need for younger people who understand the current political landscape
• How was Trump even allowed to take office after violating Section 3 of the 14th Amendment
• How politicians in the past did a better job of keeping their agendas in front of the people (even if in a creepy way)
• And more! 

Guest Info: 

Kaitlin Byrd has been commenting about American politics on Twitter since 2016, through published essays since 2018, and as a loudmouth her whole life. Born and raised in New York, Kaitlin is the second generation of her family to be from the city, and the first to grow up immersed in local politics, with her first door-to-door canvassing done at the ripe old age of three years old. In the wake of the Great Election Calamity of 2016, she began speaking out on social media about the past, present, and future of the United States with her unique blend of bluntness, humor and unyielding clarity.

Since then, she’s been asked to give her take on unfolding events by a range of publications and productions, including the Huffington Post, Bustle, the Boston Globe, The Cut, and Betches Media. She’s a monthly columnist for Dame Magazine and a weekly cohost of the Betches Sup podcast. She lives a very short commute away from her beloved Brooklyn, in New York.
