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.

After a recent shooting in Jacksonville, DeSantis was booed at a press conference, some blamed his rhetoric, others have cited Senator Rick Scott’s divisive video from a few months ago. Alex talks about whether political rhetoric can fuel the flames, whether gun violence is the deeper threat, and how some solely blame the rhetoric because the elephant in the room is that we have too many guns in society. In the end, it feels like politics are blinding the population to the reality that the gun issue is imbedded in US culture.
