In this reflective solo episode, Don takes a hard look at the state of American politics, religion, and society through the lens of a deeply personal observation: we are facing not just a constitutional or political crisis, but a crisis of humanity. From recent controversial Supreme Court rulings to the dangerous rise of white Christian nationalism, Don explores how individual philosophies and rigid worldviews are replacing dialogue, compromise, and empathy.
He draws a line from Trump-era decisions to the broader erosion of democratic values and secular governance in the U.S., warning of the arrogance in believing one worldview should dominate everyone else’s. With thoughts on generational patterns, the rule of law, and why “live and let live” might be our last best hope, this episode is both a warning and a call to rediscover our shared humanity.
