I finally got around to listening to the Ezra Klein, Ta-Nehisi Coates discussion. In that discussion, Coates was able to put in to words the way I felt after hearing about the young Republicans group chat. He said "It's not that you know what Donald Trump is going to do. It's that you don't underestimate what you are up against." --- Follow Hood Politics: https://x.com/hoodpoliticspod https://www.instagram.com/hoodpoliticspod/ Follow Prop: https://x.com/prophiphop https://www.instagram.com/prophiphop/ https://www.tiktok.com/@prophiphopSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
