On this special Election Day episode, Chauncey DeVega goes solo and reflects on his and our feelings and emotions about America in the Age of Trump, this world historical moment, and what may happen today and in the days and weeks ahead with the election and the country's future.
To that end, Chauncey warns that the American people should be very suspicious of anyone in the pundit class and elsewhere who claims to know with a high level of certainty if Joe Biden or Donald Trump will win the presidential election.
Chauncey DeVega also responds to an email from a listener about her feelings of terror, fear, uncertainty, desperation, and helplessness about what may happen on Election Day and beyond.
And Chauncey shares some wisdom in the form of two historical examples about failure and planning for the worst and hoping for the best.
