Alex Kopytko is a ”radical centrist” that wants to understand the extremes. He has worked in politics and has studied public policy and political science. Alex argues that centrism is less about being a contrarian, it is about being able to change your mind and embrace an openness to new ideas. He is concerned about where the United States is headed and through conversations with people from all sides of the political spectrum, he wants to know how Americans can limit the tribalism that is flourishing. As someone that dances along the center-right of the political spectrum, Alex thinks the country needs to come together and talk to one another before it could be too late. This podcast covers domestic politics, as well as political philosophy, and international issues.

In this episode, Alex (a big fan) takes a deep dive into the recent controversy (or non-troversy) involving Jason Aldean and his new song “Try That in a Small Town.” The song is a strong criticism of the BLM protests, the left, and more. While Alex may not agree with Aldean on every issue, he thinks the song is expected and is receiving unnecessary backlash. Alex discusses the double standards of how there are countless pop and rap songs that get overly political. He also gets into some of his criticism of Aldean — mainly Alex thinks that he didn’t need to fight fire with fire and could have taken a more positive (high) road.
