From Opposition to Opportunity: Democrats’ Game Plan for 2026 and 2028 Wins

Tristan Snell returns with a scorching deep dive into the first 100 days of Trump’s second term-a period marked by economic freefall, plummeting consumer confidence, and a stock market in retreat. With the U.S. economy officially shrinking and Trump’s approval rating at a pathetic 39%, Tristan unpacks how tariff taxes, business uncertainty, and self-inflicted policy wounds have driven the country to the brink of recession.But this episode isn’t just a post-mortem. Tristan lays out a simple, powerful roadmap for the pro-democracy coalition: focus on the economic wreckage, expose how Trump’s billionaire cronies are profiting from middle-class pain, and hammer the rampant corruption infecting Washington. Drawing lessons from Canada’s stunning political turnaround and past Democratic victories, Tristan explains why clear, direct messaging on kitchen-table issues is the key to winning in 2026 and beyond.
