How does an Obama speechwriter befriend a Joe Rogan fan? Via surfing | Politics books

WDoes the hat want men? The democrats need to know by Donald Trump and “Manosphere after last year’s elections. They answered by “talking to American men” A strategic plan This will examine “attention and virality -winning syntax, language and content” in online areas.
The two -year 20 million dollar project news reinforced that critics have become the party of a distant, trained liberal elite, similar to a Victoria explorer who pursues the democrats and working class men. He’s broadcasting David Little’s book, Just drowningContribution of the democrats after the ongoing post -death time.
Little is a former senior speaking writer, called B Obama’s White House Correspondents Association’s Dinner’s Monologues, called the comic book for comic book for the president .. He wrote speeches and jokes for 38 -year -old athletes, managers and philanthropists and became the chief writer and producer in the comedy studio Funny or Die Comedy.
He is drowning only, his third book focuses on an impossible friendship between the fear of sharks and a Yale -educated liberal Little, and his brother -in -law Matt Campler, Podcaster Joe Rogan, who listens to and never vote for tattoo truck driver.
Chasmic differences in the background, education, ideology and lifestyle seem to be uncomfortable at the beginning, but when Little wants the Cappler to help him find out how to surf, the shared experience provides a neutral ground for connection.
In an interview in the Guardian office of Washington, Little, in an interview, said, starting as a Surf book, it has become a story about being a will on a will-except that an Obama speech writer and a Joe Rogan Superfan could be friends, Lig says Little, Washington’s Guardian’s office. “Like many democrats, my natural tendency is to be a little annoying and describing. I was definitely not doing it when I was supposed to learn desperately from him. “
Washington and ASBURY PARKNew Jersey describes itself as high -functioning, high -functioning, experiencing situational depression during coronavirus pandemia. There was an overwhelming sense of horror, he had difficulty getting out of bed, and he found himself infinitely the apocalypse.
His wife Jacqui’s Brother, on the contrary, seemed to be developing. Cappler is a guitarist, a motorcycle enthusiast and a surfing of courage. Ltt reflects: “I’ve always thought of him as a crazy person, and I still do it, but he was able to cope with the ups and downs of life in a world that burned in a way that I started to be jealous.
“During the pandemi, he was successful and to be completely honest, I didn’t.“
It wouldn’t be easy. At the age of 35, it was necessary to develop new muscles and face intense fear and humiliation. Nevertheless, Little moved to Jersey Shore and joined the Cappler to help surfing classes. After months of struggle, Hawaii set a big wave goal.
Surf has become a metaphor for confrontation with both physical and existential fear, and Little’s usual excessive thinking has become a antidote. He says: “Strangely, when a wave is about to collapse on me, this sense of horror is actually similar to the feeling I get when I read the news these days.. “
And most importantly, he came to see Little Cappler as a friend. Orum One thing that is more difficult to learn to surf is to make a new friend in your 30s, so I feel that I am more proud to achieve it, I can be even more proud of riding a fire wave on the northern shore.. “
As it tells this story, Little reflects the deep political and cultural divisions of America and how they are intensified by their pandemia. Differences in taste and lifestyle become the “descriptive ölüm that declares political commitment. Little admits that if the Cappler had been a friend instead of a family, he would probably stop the contact after learning that Cappler had rejected the Covid shot.
Elektir I played the final frizbby in a SKA group with a great agreement on the shore. I played the final frizbby. I entered Death Metal. So we never had anything in common. All of these differences were not always political, but somehow they started to tell us what we were.“
Little does not claim to be an end to Hollywood where he and the Campler find a common ground and change each other’s minds. However, it is discussing in favor of joint activities that allow connection and understanding among individuals with different views.
Iz You found this neutral ground. Surf is a politically coded area and you can talk about something that is not one of the Gazillion fault lines in our society. It is difficult to find these areas but it is worth trying for the same reason.
“From many people who go to this book, ‘I have a friend or a family member with which politics breaks us down. We can’t talk about anything in the news and how will I convince them?’ What I’m going to say now is to talk about something else.
“Start by calling this neutral ground and forgetting this common ground idea, because we feel as we have a common ground. As a society, we do not agree with many important things. “
If Little had been registered to vote for the campler, the democratic candidate would not have done it for Kamala Harris. In 2016, he said that he would support Trump, Trump or Bernie Sanders because the most entertaining ones.
Ltt says: “The biggest division between us politically is part of the politics and how I define myself. Matt follows the news, cares about what is going on in the world, but that is not his identity. He is not a political person.
“One of the problems that the Democrats are currently has, we are the party of many news addicts, and most American news are not addicted.”
Famous political and cultural impact appealing to republicans and anti -organization thoughts and claiming that he gave priority to common sense on political parties, Rogan and Elon Musk’un appealed. The new generation of Rightwing podcasts and impressives began as entertainment and then locked in problems.
“Democrats are still delayed.” Little says. ‘Developing new media sounds, many of them are great, but first they tend to be political and the second, or policy as entertainment, and therefore they do not appeal to people who cannot find politics fun, and these voters we need in’ 28.“
Democrats also have a well -documented class problem. Many people were seen as the party of Hollywood celebrities and college educated elite, and Hillary Clinton dismissed half of Trump supporters as a “informable basket”.
The shift perceived towards the identity policy of the party and social justice issues alienated some of the working class voters who once formed the basis. Before the 2016 elections, Senator Chuck Schumer announced: “For every blue -collar democrat we lost in West Pennsylvania, we will buy two moderate republican in the suburbs in Philadelphia.”
It turned out to be bad mathematics. Last November, the Republicans sweep the White House and both congress rooms. Trump won 56% of voters without university degreeA change from 2020 when Trump and Joe Biden are roughly equal compared to 42% who prefer Harris.
Little draws attention to the homogeneity of democratic circles and the lack of organic relations with non -university people, especially university degrees. This connection prevents the ability to interrupt, understand or effectively communicate with problems.
Remembering Harris’s volunteer for the bad star election campaign, he says: “Sometimes I would be in a conference meeting and people will talk about a policy or message and say, ‘Do we think this will work? Do we think that this would be effective?’ Basically, let me surf and learn.
“Nobody said, ‘Oh, let me talk to my working class friend’, because the democrats don’t usually have friends who don’t have university degrees. For people who are in the office and those working in the office, almost all college trained and almost all friends are trained.
“The Democrats are literally sitting in the rooms where everyone has a university diploma, and he says, do people who do not have a university degree do not think or not feel like we invite them? So look around the room.”
Little acknowledges that another white man has written about a friendship with the smallest possible sample size, and makes it difficult to draw sociological conclusions about the working -class color people.
However, he states that the Republicans are trying to “re -holy ve about the education and cultural war lines of the country and make the race less important in determining how people vote. Surveys show what Trump does Latin big roads with men And to a less extent with African American men.
Ltt says: orum I don’t know that the race looks important, but I think the race is more important than anything else, especially for people who are not white.
“What we see is very clearly no, it was not true and perhaps the most empirical -based attitude.. “
Little argues that the democrats have a strong policy agenda for blue -collar workers, but cannot convey. Friendship with Cappler will not explain everything. However, it somehow presents this as a start for a party that allows Trump, a millionaire businessman who cuts taxes for the rich.
“If you asked me three years ago, if there was a lot to learn from your brother-in-law, I wouldn’t really say, and one of the things I had to learn is deeply disgusting. I still have a professional democrat-I could be very annoying-but I think I think that I was more fun and life is more fun.“
