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 discusses his four-week “hiatus while he was abroad in Europe. Then he discusses the recent election in Italy in which Giorgia Meloni, the leader of the Brothers of Italy party, became Italy’s Prime Minister. Meloni has ties to Italian fascism, praised Benito Mussolini during her youth, and is against everything ranging from LGBTQ rights to immigration to non-traditional families. Alex also discusses how the American right has normalized her views and defended her positions as “popular” and “moderate.” There seems to be a global coalition of far-right parties that is transnational and troubling.
