Together, we research and break down complex, and even controversial, topics facing our society. Our goal isn’t to convince you to see things our way. We want to build a foundational understanding of these complicated topics so that we can address them together. We talk about some pretty heavy stuff on this show, and we tackle topics that might feel polarizing. But we do that because we have an important goal in mind: We want to change the way people have hard conversations. And, we think we can do that using research and discussion to create common understanding. And, since you’re here, we hope you want the same thing. So we suggest getting comfortable, and maybe having a good drink on hand as we work through this stuff. Welcome to our fireside.

This week we’re going to close out our series breaking down the viral Twitter thread from a commentator named Darryl Cooper, known on Twitter as MartyrMade. It’s been an interesting exercise, to say the least, as we moved tweet by tweet through the events he claims have shaped conservative perspectives over the last 5 years and led to the mindset that justified forcefully breaching the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
It was hard to bring the same enthusiasm to this breakdown considering the very heavy events taking place in the middle east. But we're glad to bring you the news that the GoFundMe that benefits Savannah's interpreter Stone is LIVE! If you'd like to directly impact the lives of an American ally and his family, you can do that here: https://gofund.me/822e43e1
We also spend some time discussing why it's important to tackle topics like this, and what we hope that listeners - especially those who don't often agree with us - are able to gain from this exercise.
