Summary
Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman joins Gaslit Nation to break down the Kremlin’s plan for America: stirring up civil war. Russia is hoping to kick our already chaotic political circus into overdrive, but here’s the twist that the Kremlin—along with many white male pundits—completely missed: women across the political spectrum are furious.
Whether it’s the GOP’s authoritarian fantasies, including femicide, or the media’s endless obsession ignoring women’s humanity, women in every state across America are punching Nazis in the ballot box, driving out a historic early vote.
Later in the week, look out for the Gaslit Nation Election 2024 Super Special, featuring Terrell Starr of the Black Diplomats Podcast and Substack. It will include this week’s bonus show, available to Patreon subscribers at the Truth-teller ($5/month) tier and higher. On Monday at 4pm ET, we’re having another political salon over Zoom to brace for the impact of MAGA trying to steal our election with Russia’s help, either through Mike Johnson, the failed legal architect of Trump’s Big Lie, or the MAGA majority on the Supreme Court, should the electoral college come down to one state. Or else, we’re celebrating with a Gaslit Nation virtual block party! Either way, to our Patreon community that keeps the show going, see you on Monday, for whatever comes next.

Robert Reich on Mastodon: “If Harris wins, will Congress certify the results? There are now 172 election deniers in Congress. But the new Congress gets sworn in before the presidential election is certified. Your down ballot votes could decide whether your presidential vote is respected or discarded.” https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]/113429039266528054

Andrea Chalupa on Twitter: “The Reagan Revolution ignited a culture of “greed is good," alongside the rise of Christian nationalism. Democrats, for their part, embraced this shift, allowing unions to weaken and newsrooms to erode, all in the name of boosting corporate profits. As a result, Trump and Manafort’s brand of corruption thrived in plain sight. Throughout American history, progress for Black people has been met with violent white rage, and Trump’s birtherism was the inevitable response to the first Black president. Meanwhile, Russia's support for Trump wasn’t just about sowing chaos in U.S. politics; it was part of a broader geopolitical strategy to lift sanctions and advance their long-standing imperial ambitions, which have been unfolding since Russia invaded Georgia. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is merely the latest chapter of rising Russian imperialism. All of this is compounded by the deep, structural misogyny and racism in America, a nation built on genocide that persists to this day with the prison industrial complex and the epidemic of violence against Native American women. These forces are not isolated—they are interconnected, fueling each other in a dangerous cycle. The gasoline on that fire is unchecked social media as well as Silicon Valley greed. What's left of newsrooms are populated by white men who aren't sensitive to most of these issues since they're blinded by their own privilege.” https://x.com/AndreaChalupa/status/1853788934393766019

| 0:00.0 | The driving issue from what I read has been the abortion issue. |
| 0:05.0 | And it was over the summer that Iowa's six-week ban on abortion went into effect after all the court challenges were taken care of. |
| 0:14.0 | So that's the decision being made, the law going into force and and then people living with it for a while, |
| 0:22.2 | and it being a strong, sort of compelling thing from Iowa's in the congressional districts. |
| 0:28.3 | Iowa right now, all four congressional districts are held by Republicans. |
| 0:32.7 | So to me, it seems like to a certain extent there's something organic going on because the presidential candidates certainly aren't spending any money or time here. Our opening clip was everyone's favorite pollster, Jay Ann Selzer, explaining that what we're witnessing today in America and bucking the historical trends of recent elections is a women's revolt. |
| 1:13.9 | In the 22 midterms, women won Democrats, the Senate, and Republicans were only able to cling |
| 1:21.0 | to a tiny majority in the House thanks to women, even though historically, the midterms |
| 1:27.1 | are a backlash against the party that holds |
| 1:29.6 | the White House. In 2023, women flipped the house in Virginia and held on to the Senate, |
| 1:34.4 | electing the first trans woman, Danica Rowham, to the state Senate in Virginia. |
| 1:40.2 | Their grassroots power denied posh Trump Glenn Yonkin the majority he needed to push through his |
| 1:47.4 | 15-week abortion ban. |
| 1:50.7 | In 2024, women continue to dominate the early voting numbers, driven as Jay Ansela points out, |
| 1:59.9 | by the medieval Christian nationalist abortion ban by men |
| 2:05.1 | who simply do not understand nor care how a woman's body works. Abortion is health care, full |
| 2:16.0 | stop. My second pregnancy was a high risk pregnancy, and I was told, |
| 2:21.1 | very matter-of-factly, by my doctor that if I should start bleeding uncontrollably, |
| 2:26.0 | that they would perform an emergency abortion to save my life. My husband agreed with no questions |
| 2:32.5 | asked. It was a no-brainer. Of course, because that's health care. |
| 2:36.0 | Abortion is health care. Could you imagine if I was in Texas today or Georgia today, where women are dying, being killed by Russian-backed Republicans? |
| 2:49.0 | I would leave my husband and my firstborn daughter in this world |
