Profane insights into Trumplandia and The Realignment with Charlie Sykes (Ep. 3)

On the new coalitions in American politics, and what that means in the closing days of the race - the latest Ground Game Pod

“Now I’m a conservative, and I remember we’re all rolling our eyes at Bernie Sanders, ‘The millionaires and the billionaires’. And it’s like, ‘f*** me.’ The billionaires have decided it’s not enough for us to be really, really wealthy and to have the biggest yacht. We actually want power.”

That’s the great

on the latest episode of The Ground Game Pod (get it here on the Substacks, on YouTube or wherever you listen to quality pods.)

Sykes is a veteran conservative, radio legend and recently moderated a talk between Kamala Harris and Liz Cheney onstage in Wisconsin.

If your political compass isn’t spinning you haven’t been paying attention. But even for the time of The Realignment, this has been momentous. And Charlie’s here to make sense of it all.
