Ann Coulter’s provocative personality often obscures two aspects of her that are far more important: she is a devoted Christian and committed nationalist. She thinks multiculturalism is dangerous and that Western culture rooted in a Judeo-Christian tradition creates superior societies. She advocated for Trump enthusiastically, and wrote a popular book In Trump We Trust, E Pluribus Awesome! to support his election.  
So how is she feeling a year in to Trump’s presidency?  Not altogether happy, considering her recent column, Headlines From an Administration That is Not Putting American First. In this episode Jeff contemplates the views of Coulter and her nationalist comrades on the right.

Ann Coulter’s Piece of the Truth: Critiquing Trump from the Right

Today Jeff visits with integralist Tom Curren, who has launched a new non-profit initiative with the goal to Change the Rules of the American political system. Tom has identified four structural problems in American politics that exacerbate the electorate’s most tribal impulses:

How the election system sorts for a “lesser of two evils” choice 
Why the most extreme ideologues have disproportionate power 
The big money machine that is successfully enriching its clients
Barriers to large scale citizen participation 

Our political system seems to be carved in constitutional stone, but actually many of its most dysfunctional rules are not in the constitution, and have been built up to support the business of politics. Listen as Tom explains a series of non-flashy, non-partisan strategies (ballot initiatives, legal challenges and legislative pressures) that are already proving to drain the swamps in states and municipalities across the nation..  

While The Daily Evolver usually focuses on integrating the polarities arising in consciousness and culture, this episode offers exciting, third-person structural solutions with high leverage. Tom also offers listeners an efficient way to participate personally on-the-ground in their communities.

Tom Curren is founder of Hawthorne Consultants, a firm specialized in the integration of strategy and organization change. Find out more about his new non-profit, Change The Rules.

New Structures to Drain the Swamp

I am an integralist, an evolutionary and a commentator who is heartened by the state and future of things - yes, even with Trump. I believe life is animated by the power of evolution and we are riding a geyser of emergence toward a sacred world.

In this podcast I look at emerging trends in politics, economics, science, spirituality, and entertainment, all with an eye toward spotting the upflow of human consciousness and culture.
