After listening to the podcast, I had mixed feelings and it definitely opened my eyes to the types of people we have in our government. With the whole Judge Kavanuagh situation, it just shows people are willing to throw away human decency and understanding to get what they want. The conservatives wanted him as a judge so badly that they were willing to discredit the young lady’s story as much as possible, almost as if they wanted to make her look bad instead of finding out what really happened. I also feel like there is something harsh of the dead chicken strategy. The idea that democrats need to feel what it’s like to have horrible accusations thrown at you to make them stop, drawing the parallel of putting a dead chicken around a dog’s neck to make it stop liking chicken. In terms of the impeachment, I feel like there is no correlation between a sexual assault case that happened in high school making it understandable if some details are hazy and the impeachment of Donald Trump which has a transcript of his phone call to Russia and a whistleblower. I have now realized that now politics is more about getting what you want by any means necessary instead of using facts and logic to make something happen or putting yourself in other’s shoes to see why they may think a certain way.
