#97 America at 250: Bent, Bruised, But Not Broken

On this episode of Truthful Manipulation, hosts Dave Kelsey and H. Daniel Mujahid examine America’s 250th anniversary and ask whether our democracy can endure. They explain how manipulation, dishonesty, and division threaten civic life and why truth and integrity are necessary for repair.

The episode calls for active citizenship—voting, asking better questions, holding leaders accountable, and choosing truth over ego—arguing that democracy survives when ordinary people do the hard work of course correction.
