In my very first “Ask Me Anything” video, AL explains how Southern liberals are really the Spetsnaz commandos of liberalism, and coastal liberals (who haven’t been through half as much) should use us instead of calling us DINOs. By detailing a brief recent political history of Alabama–Don Siegelman’s incarceration, a non-existent state party, a vicious… Read More »
In a special reunion episode of “A Year Long Conversation,” we dive deep into Doug Jones upset of Roy Moore, what this means for Alabama (and the South), Trump’s first year in office, Russian meddling, predictions for 2018 and 2020, and the paradox of Trump’s Russia-sponsored nationalism, at a time when fascism is having a moment what… Read More »
Alabama Liberal explains the pecking order of Southern States, and why people have a different impression of Virginia than, say, Alabama…
As I pointed out in last year’s very well-aged article “The Southeast is Actually the MOST Important Area for Democrats”—which you should read if you haven’t already—there is no future for the Democratic Party that doesn’t include major gains in the Southeast. What is currently being thought of as “hopelessly lost Trump country” is the only way Democrats are… Read More »
February 7th 2011, a date that will live in infamy…just kidding, it was the official launch date of Alabama Liberal and I can honestly say it’s been a great six years. Sure, I’ve been slacking on some features—people most often ask for more Bubba’s Sex Tips, Sunday’s Sermons, Red State Vs. Blue State, and Mom… Read More »
The biggest of the “big,” it practically makes Trump look travel-sized. We take on no less than every big issue we can think of and answer questions from our listeners. How can interracial couples solve racism? How is automation a bigger economic threat than immigration? [Plus how to fix it.] Which Democrat is going to save us… Read More »
In the second part of our trilogy we take on military conservatives and use it as a broader platform to talk everything defense: Why is Saudi Arabia using American think tanks? Will Trump build a wall around Afghanistan? Did the Cuban embargo keep the Castros in power? Will the wars of the future be economic… Read More »
In our most personal episode to date, Blue in Alabama and Alabama Liberal explore the fundamental question: Why do red states go for policies that aren’t helping them? And we actually answer it. Join us as we explore The Southern Strategy, how Alabama’s political shifts have been a reaction to race, and the direct correlation… Read More »
A very special tenth episode of “A Year Long Conversation” that is a little longer than usual but moves like a bullet-train. We dive deep into: How each candidate’s strategy is shaped by who they are (Ted Cruz’s shady minions, Rubio’s half-hearted endorsements, Trump’s unimaginative strategy of actually winning states). We explore the media’s dead-wrong assertion that… Read More »
In one of our best episodes so far we get to the big questions: If Cruz and Rubio speak any more Spanish at the debates, will Trump build a wall around the stage? Will the mutual hatred between he and Jeb lead Trump to threaten to deport Columba Bush? And then our main topic: Is… Read More »
