Tanks, Tweets, & Truth Bombs: Rachel Vindman on Trump’s Parade and the Real Fight

Rachel and Jo discuss the disconnect between political theater and the lived realities of veterans, including the impact of recent VA policy changes on healthcare access. They explore the professionalism of service members, the importance of lawful orders—even when they’re “awful”—and why storytelling is essential for advocacy and driving change. They also tackle the pitfalls of measuring political success by social media impressions, the need for authenticity in political communication, and why grassroots movements must adapt and allocate resources strategically to make real progress. From family milestones to the urgency of voter registration, Rachel and Jo remind listeners that political change is a collective effort—and that genuine connection, not spectacle, is what moves the needle.
