  1. President Trump's Shock and Awe Campaign and the American People’s Mental and Emotional Health

    President Trump's Shock and Awe Campaign and the American People’s Mental and Emotional Health

    There are two guests on this week’s episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show. Dr. Justin Frank is a former professor of psychiatry at George Washington University. He is the author of several books including Trump on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President. Dr. Frank reflects on how the American people and their collective sense of normal, safety, and security has been dramatically disrupted by Trump’s return to power and his  “shock and awe” campaign against American democracy and society. Dr. Frank counsels that feelings of dread, fear, and anxiety are totally normal responses to such a threat – but the question then becomes what to do with those feelings. Dr. Frank also explains the psychological dynamics at work in why so many Americans were in denial, immature, and refused to believe the many warnings, over almost a decade, that Trump’s return to power would be a disaster for the country and the world. Dr. Lance Dodes is a former clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and a training and supervising analyst emeritus at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. Dr. Dodes explains why and how so many Americans and others in this time of crisis are increasing their unhealthy use of alcohol, drugs, and engaging in other addictive behavior as a coping mechanism. He also explains the important differences between compulsion and bad habits and their importance for treating alcoholism and other diseases. Dr. Frank and Dr. Dodes both share their advice for enduring, navigating, and how Americans of conscience and honor can try to stay healthy and relatively balanced and ready for the long struggle during this time of extreme stress, anxiety, fear, vulnerability, general duress and exhaustion. Chauncey DeVega continues to navigate the long Trumpocene and Trump’s first month back in power, what are weeks that feel like years and decades. The Dear Leader has now declared himself a de facto king, emperor, Napoleon…. or worse. And as Chauncey has warned for years, Trump is now literally whitewashing and creating a thoughtcrime regime against teaching the real history of American society and the color line with his very real and very serious Orwellian threats against America’s colleges, universities, and public schools.  WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?

    The American People Are Being Targeted and Manipulated By a Disinformation and Propaganda War

    Lee McIntyre is a Research Fellow at the Center for Philosophy and History of Science at Boston University and a Senior Advisor for Public Trust in Science at the Aspen Institute. He is the author of many books including On Disinformation and How to Talk to a Science Denier. Lee McIntyre explains how the American people are being systematically targeted in a disinformation and propaganda war by malign actors both here in the United States and from abroad with the goal of breaking reality, confusing them about the difference between facts and lies, undermining science and rational thought, and causing them to withdraw inward, abandon healthy community, and civic life and democracy. McIntyre explains the concept and practice of propaganda and disinformation, its origins, and how the American people can educate themselves so that they can effectively resist. Lee McIntyre also warns that President Donald Trump is a highly skilled and gifted propagandist and practitioner of disinformation who has no real peer or equal in recent American history – if ever.

    Author Dayton Ward is a Caretaker of the Star Trek Universe

    Dayton Ward is a New York Times bestselling author or co-author of more than forty novels and novellas. His most recent Star Trek novel is Pliable Truths. Ward’s essays and other writing have been featured at Tor.com, StarTrek.com, and Syfy.com Dayton Ward reflects on his decades-long love of Star Trek, what it means to be creative for a living and his decision to “take the leap” later in life to become a full-time professional writer, how Star Trek fandom has changed over the decades, and what his wishes are for Star Trek to become in the future. Chauncey DeVega journeys home for the New Year and Christmas holidays and has more adventures and challenges as the working-class child of an aging parent. Chauncey also reminds us that these are the good days before the imminent return of Donald Trump to the White House and how we must keep our hearts open to the amazing examples of humanity and inspiration in our neighborhoods and day-to-day lives. Those experiences are fuel for the hope tank that Americans of conscience and honor will need to survive, resist, and eventually overcome the horribleness of the next four years and beyond.

  4. The Black Working Class are the Beating Heart of American Democracy

    19.12.2024

    The Black Working Class are the Beating Heart of American Democracy

    Blair Kelley is an award-winning author, historian, and scholar of the African American experience. She is currently the Joel R. Williamson Distinguished Professor of Southern Studies at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and the incoming director of the Center for the Study of the American South, the first Black woman to serve in that role in the center’s thirty-year history. Her new book is Black Folk: The Roots of the Black Working Class. Blair Kelly discusses the relationship of the Black working class to the American story of striving, struggle, hope, endurance, tragedy, and triumph along the color line. She also intervenes against a dominant narrative that erases the Black working class from how the country’s news media and other elites and general public conceptualizes what it means to be a “real American” and member of the “working class” in the Age of Trump and this era of authoritarian populist backlash and rage. Chauncey and Blair also reflect on their own experiences as proud members of the Black working class, and how they navigate being in elite spaces where that identity and experience makes many people uncomfortable and uncertain. Chauncey DeVega continues to work through our collective emotions and the public mood in the aftermath of the 2024 Election, this time of growing dread, and Trump’s imminent return to the White House. Chauncey also shares two powerful recent essays on Trump’s return to power and this time of moral and larger societal crisis. And Chauncey DeVega travels to the local cineplex and proceeds to share his reviews of the new movies Queer, Werewolves, Day of the Fight, and The Order. WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?

  5. The Corporate Democrats and the Mainstream News Media were the Midwives For Donald Trump's MAGA Victory in the 2024 Election

    18.11.2024

    The Corporate Democrats and the Mainstream News Media were the Midwives For Donald Trump's MAGA Victory in the 2024 Election

    There are two guests on this week’s special post-Election 2024 episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show. Heidi Siegmund Cuda is an Emmy-award winning investigative reporter, filmmaker, and bestselling author. Her Substack newsletter is Bette Dangerous. She is the co-host and producer of RADICALIZED Truth Survives podcast. Heidi Cuda reflects on her emotions and feelings of rage, betrayal, demoralization and the dangerous allure of too much “hopium” following Donald Trump’s defeat of Kamala Harris. Heidi Cuda also shares her thoughts on the role that white privilege, white rage, racism and sexism played in the defeat of Kamala Harris and the ascendance of Trump and the MAGA movement (and the likely end of multiracial democracy in America for the foreseeable future).   Henry A. Giroux is a leading social theorist and cultural critic. He is the author of many dozens of books. His most recent books include The Terror of the Unforeseen; Race, Politics, and Pandemic Pedagogy: Education in a Time of Crisis; Pedagogy of Resistance: Against Manufactured Ignorance; and Insurrections: Education in the Age of Counter-Revolutionary Politics. His forthcoming book (co-authored with Anthony DiMaggio) is Fascism on Trial: Education and the Possibility of Democracy. Henry Giroux counsels that the American people are in for a nightmare with Trump’s second rise to power and the regime of cruelty and trauma that he will unleash upon the country and the world. Giroux is very critical of the corporate Democrats and a mainstream news media that minimized and mocked the rage and pain of the tens of millions of Americans (and the millions of others who did not even bother to vote) who elevated Donald Trump as a savior in a moment of collective destruction. Chauncey DeVega journeys to Trump Tower on Election night 2024 and shares his thoughts on the defeat of Kamala Harris and the rise of MAGA fascist America in real time.  Chauncey also reflects on his exhaustion, sadness, frustration, and feelings of futility and anger at his years of (mostly) ignored attempts to warn the American people and their elites about the growing dangers of Trumpism and how Donald Trump was easily going to defeat Kamala Harris and President Biden.

    Election Day 2024 is Finally Here. Harris or Trump? What Comes Next?

    There are four guests on this week’s special Election Day 2024 episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show. Joe Walsh was a Republican congressman and a leading Tea Party conservative. He is now a prominent conservative voice against Donald Trump and the host of the podcast The Social Contract with Joe Walsh. D. Earl Stephens is the former Managing Editor at Stars and Stripes and the author of Toxic Tales: A Caustic Collection of Donald J. Trump’s Very Important Letters. His Substack newsletter is Enough, Already! Steven Beschloss is a journalist and author of several books, including The Gunman and His Mother. His Substack newsletter is America, America. His essays and other work have been featured in The New Yorker, The Washington Post, The New York Times, The New Republic, Smithsonian and The Economist Intelligence Unit, among many others.    Heidi Siegmund Cuda is an Emmy-award winning investigative reporter, filmmaker, and bestselling author. Her Substack newsletter is Bette Dangerous. She is the co-host and producer of RADICALIZED Truth Survives podcast. These four guests share their reasoning behind and predictions about the outcome of the 2024 presidential election and if Vice President Harris will win and American democracy will continue or if Dictator Trump will take power and unleash a reign of terror, revenge, and destruction on his personal and political enemies. This week’s guests also offer their expert insights about what happens after the 2024 Election, the necessity of democratic renewal, the likelihood of political violence and unrest, and how deeply broken the American people and their institutions and culture are for Donald Trump to even be the Republican Party’s nominee and so very close, again, to victory. Chauncey DeVega offers counsel that the American people and the pro-democracy movement need to prepare for the worst and hope for the best -- and do the necessary hard work -- to ensure the future of their multiracial pluralistic democracy and the American project.
