    Americans say the economy is bad. Inflation is hurting families. Housing is becoming unaffordable. Debt is crushing younger generations. And according to a new CNN poll, roughly 73% of Americans are worried about the economy.


    Historically, numbers like that destroyed incumbents politically.


    So why does modern American politics remain almost completely frozen in tribal alignment?


    In this episode of The Partisan Games Podcast, we break down the collapse of civic reasoning in America, the rise of identity-first politics, and why voters increasingly behave emotionally instead of institutionally.


    This is not about Democrats versus Republicans.


    This is about what happens when citizens stop thinking like citizens and start thinking like tribes.


    Politics has become emotional. Media has become psychological reinforcement. Civic literacy has collapsed. And democratic accountability is weakening in real time.


    This, is The Partisan Games Podcast.

  • Guns & Butter: Trump, Child Care, Iran, and What Government Is Actually For

    In this episode of The Partisan Games Podcast, we take apart two different arguments hiding inside Trump’s recent comments on child care, war, and the role of government. First, the classic guns-and-butter problem: can a country wage war abroad and still promise stability and prosperity at home? Second, the old conservative claim that the federal government exists only for national defense.

    We walk through the economics of war, the political tradeoffs that come with military conflict, the Constitution’s language on common defense and general welfare, the limits of federal power, and the broader civic question of what government is supposed to do in a modern republic.

    This is not an argument for unlimited government. It is not an argument for no government. It is an argument for honest government, constitutional government, and government at the right level for the right job.
