## Resource

Pags can't believe "evinced" is actually a real word—and the crew has some fun with the dictionary before turning to a much more serious question: why are candidates like Zohran Mamdani winning elections? Pags asks whether the country is moving toward a more socialist future and what conservatives need to do to respond. Then, Kathy Barnette joins to discuss her book Nothing to Lose, Everything to Gain, what it's like being a conservative Black woman in America, why she believes the country is at a crossroads, and how her life story shaped her political views.
