Pantsuit Politics

I was a super fan when the podcast first started, and then quit listening after the 2016 presidential election. At that time I felt it was best that I disconnect from politics (to a point) and haven’t listened since. Fast-forward to now (2024) I once again feel like I am living in a dystopian nightmare, so I resubscribed .. and I’m so glad I did! I really appreciated the level-headed tone that the hosts used when talking about the election and the future of politics. So glad you guys are here to talk me through this.

I wanted to share some “good” with you about the election. I come from a family of republicans. Through the years I (and my sister) have seen what Trump has done with the Republican Party. We don’t align myself with that party and more. We weren’t going to vote for him no matter what! We started educating ourselves through listening to podcasts just like yours. We were able to change our voter registration, speak educatedly on policy and politics, and were thrilled with Kamala. We were very ready to have our votes canceled out by our parents. But because of our education and speaking knowledgeably against him, both our parents didn’t vote for him. Thank you for helping two West Virginia gals change our world.

I listen to you but it seems y’all think the election was a personality contest. She had no clear policy issues and did not address the issues that we’re important to the people. The hard left turn of the party is why she lost. Liberal elitism is the problem.

Thanks, Beth, for what became comforting words to me on a day I can't get my emotional and spiritual bearings. You and Sarah were the first ones I turned to in 2016 when I couldn't figure out what to make of our world in the USA. Your wisdom, humor, insights and convictions have made the past 8 years more bearable and I thank you for being willing to give of your time and giftings for the sake of the kingdom. I will continue to pray they you will have the courage to speak out against ignorance, hate, prejudice and power.
