Emily Jashinsky: Conservatives and Leftists | What Remains Unbridgeable in the Horseshoe? | Iran War
About this episode
Emily Jashinsky discusses the strange political convergence between conservatives and leftists, exploring deeper philosophical divides and the implications of U.S. actions as an empire.
This conversation with Emily Jashinsky dives into one of the strangest political moments in recent memory — where parts of the left and right are beginning to sound eerily similar. From “America First” to anti-war sentiment, distrust of institutions, and critiques of empire, we explore whether this convergence is real… or just a temporary alignment before everything snaps back.We get into the deeper philosophical divide driving politics today: how history should relate to the present. Is the United States acting as a global policeman — or an empire? And if it is an empire, can conservatives reconcile that with their own instincts toward nationalism and independence? Along the way, we confront difficult questions around Israel, Iran, the Rapture, Christian Zionism, and the economic realities underpinning global power.The conversation ultimately turns toward moral philosophy — justice, power, religion, and whether peace is something we can achieve, or only something that emerges from a deeper pursuit of justice. This is a rare, open dialogue across ideological lines — not to agree, but to understand before the window for these conversations closes.00:00:00 – Coming Up...00:01:38 –…
