EP 492: The Two Kens On Our Better Angels & 2024 DNC

The 2024 DNC ended Thursday night, so the next morning podcasters Fong and Kemp were excited to compare notes about what they heard, saw and felt during throughout this 4-night gathering of Democratic delegates to make VP Harris and Gov. Walz their 1-2 punch to keep the White House and also to prevent Trump, MAGA, and Project 2025 from gaining power. As Kemp put it, the GOP’s RNC portrayed American as a bleak and doomed dystopia if Harris and Walz were to win. But the Dem’s DNC painted a compelling, utopian vision of America where every person was free to make his, hers, or their own choices, while simultaneously promoting the common good. We also discuss Frank Schaeffer’s position that evangelical Christians as a whole won’t dump Trump before November due to their particular prophetic framing of what’s happening.
