Summary
This is the first episode of Red, White & Bruised, a weekly political analysis series. Every Sunday, I’ll discuss the headlines and give my two cents on this current hellscape that we are living through.
For the debut, we’re walking step by step through Donald Trump’s march toward authoritarianism, a documented trail of power grabs that’s dragged this country closer to fascism than most people want to admit. This isn’t speculation. This isn’t “both sides.” It’s the ugly truth, and it’s time we stop pretending everything is fine.
If you’re ready to cut through the noise, face reality head-on, and get a little bruised along the way, you’re in the right place.

| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, it's Robin. You are listening to the first episode of Red, White, and Bruised. |
| 0:06.9 | This is a new series where I'm going to be unfiltered and unpack my thoughts and observations |
| 0:12.3 | on the stories that defined the previous week. And before we dive into anything, I want to be |
| 0:19.0 | up front. This show may divide some of you. Some of what I'm |
| 0:23.2 | going to say is going to make people uncomfortable. And honestly, I wrestled with whether or not to |
| 0:28.4 | even start this mini series to begin with. But here's where I landed. I have to speak my truth, |
| 0:35.6 | because what's happening right now around us is terrifying. |
| 0:39.8 | We are living through a moment where the political landscape is shifting faster than most |
| 0:44.9 | people can keep up with. And currently, where we're at right now, pretending that everything |
| 0:51.4 | is normal isn't just dishonest, It's dangerous. So yes, this series |
| 0:57.4 | might not be for everyone, but if you're here, if you're willing to listen, my goal is to cut |
| 1:03.5 | through all of the bullshit and all of the noise every Sunday, talk about what I think is really |
| 1:08.3 | happening and, God, find a community to help us all process this new reality because it is horrendous. |
| 1:16.3 | For today's episode, I want to walk you through a timeline, a timeline that shows step by step how Donald Trump has moved this country closer to authoritarianism and closer to fascism. |
| 1:30.1 | And this isn't hyperbole. |
| 1:31.6 | This isn't speculation. |
| 1:33.4 | It's a documented series of choices, actions, and events, and escalating power grabs. |
| 1:39.3 | So I'm going to start at the beginning. |
| 1:42.4 | And as a side note, before we kick this off, housekeeping, |
| 1:45.6 | I'm going to publish these episodes via We Saw the Devil. I'm not creating a separate podcast for this |
| 1:50.9 | because 90% of this includes crime. And it is well within the true crime umbrella. So if you want to |
| 1:58.3 | follow, if you're new here, this is the first you've heard and you want to continue getting updates and follow, you can do so on Instagram at We Saw the Devil podcast. You can do it on Twitter and Facebook under We Saw the Devil or you can find me at Robin underscore WSTD. |
