Raging MI Moderates: 2026 Politics
The Middle Ground Michiga Podcast is for people who are done being yelled at by politics.
This show lives in the uncomfortable space between tribal talking points and reality — where Michigan actually exists. We call out bad ideas whether they come from Lansing, Washington, or our own side of the aisle. No party loyalty. No outrage farming. No performative nonsense.
If you’re sick of being told you must be angry, must pick a team, must hate your neighbors — this is your place.
We cover Michigan elections, local power, policy failures, corruption, culture wars, and the stuff that actually affects your life — without pretending one party has all the answers or that the other is pure evil. Sometimes that means criticizing Democrats. Sometimes Republicans. Usually both.
This is not a “both sides are the same” podcast.
It’s a both sides need to do better podcast.
Expect honest conversations, uncomfortable truths, and real accountability — with a Michigan-first lens and a future-focused mindset.
No Left.
No Right.
Michigan Forward.
Raging MI Moderates: 2026 Politics
Burr’s Treason Setup = Trump’s Indictments? History’s Dirty Playbook Revealed
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if every “unprecedented” crisis is just history hitting replay?
Dennis Brennan—former politician and attorney—connects the dots between Aaron Burr and Donald Trump.
Burr: Revolutionary hero turned “traitor” through elite attacks, media hatchet jobs, and weaponized courts.
Trump: Endless indictments, nonstop lawfare, and the same institutional resistance—200+ years later.
We rip into media bias dating back to Hamilton, government waste, subsidy scams jacking up prices, socialism creeping in through policy, and why the outrage machine keeps Americans divided.
This one hurts… but knowledge is power.
