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 bit of a hiatus, Alex returns ready to talk about the growing darkness at Trump rallies and why the media has failed to cover his rallies over the years as they have increasingly become more extreme and illiberal. He worries that the left and mainstream media have ignored some of Trump’s growing threats and danger even as his base has become more accepting of them. Next, Alex talks about the Ohio Rally where Trump salutes the J6 “hostages” and then says there will be a bloodbath if he loses to Biden. Later, Alex talks about the House of Representatives passing a bill that would force the sale of TikTok (or ban the app if a sale can’t happen). The bill is now in the Senate, but Donald Trump is calling Republican Senators and urging them to vote against it as President Biden has said he will sign the bill into law. Alex goes over both sides of this argument and feels that TikTok is a problematic app but he does not like the precedent of banning/forcing the sale of one app while not setting specified criteria for other companies as well.
