In this episode of Branding Democrats, we welcome the progressive creator Shauna, known as @WonderlandNews on TikTok. Known for her coverage of global events and their impact on American politics, Shauna shares her approach to staying informed.

In this episode, we discuss the rise of right-wing governments across the world, where Shauna articulates her concerns about a global ideological shift. She introduces the "horseshoe theory," which argues that extreme political ideologies often closely resemble each other.

We talk about the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), and how Trump’s withdrawal from this partnership has undermined global labor standards and facilitated a race to the bottom in global wages. This is something she wishes more Americans knew about because it affects both American workers and international labor markets.

The conversation shifts to how Democrats can better leverage their successes, especially in terms of managing the economy and improving healthcare access. We challenge the false idea that GOP tax policy is better for the average American, highlighting instead their preference for a system that disproportionately benefits the wealthy at the expense of middle and lower-income groups.
