What Did We Learn About the Midterms? | Lisa Senecal & David Pepper

Voters rejected extremism at the local level, flipping even conservative school boards away from chaos and censorship.
  • Trump’s economic delusion — denying inflation and tariffs’ damage — creates a messaging trap for GOP candidates in 2026.

  • Democrats gain ground by running everywhere, breaking propaganda bubbles and reconnecting with local voters.

  • Gen Z’s turnout and blunt demand for honesty show that fighting authoritarianism clearly and fearlessly works.


Lisa and David dig into why Tuesday’s results weren’t just good — they were clarifying. From school boards to statehouses, they trace how reality-based politics beat back delusion, and how Trump’s denial of economic pain leaves his party stranded in fantasy. David argues that Democrats’ path forward isn’t about moderation but saturation — showing up in every district, talking about real costs and collapsing trust. Lisa pushes that same energy toward disinformation itself, calling for a fight on the ground, not just online. Both see young voters as the moral core of that resistance — less sentimental about democracy, more determined to save it.

Tune in to this charged post-election conversation with Lisa Senecal and David Pepper.
