Part 7/9:
As tensions rise, the episode also calls attention to the increasingly hyperbolic rhetoric of Democrats who feel cornered by emerging political narratives. The analogy of the theater kid emerges again, emphasizing how their messaging appears uncoordinated, leading to disjointed and exaggerated claims about threats to democracy or health care.
