Send us a text

In this bonus episode of Surviving Trump, Bella Goode closes out Season 1 — a year of straight talk about what’s happening inside our government, who’s driving the agenda, and how those decisions affect everyday Americans. Over 56 episodes, this season broke down Trump’s second-term plans with a singular  mission: expose the unqualified people running his administration and the egregious actions and policies shaping the future.

Season 1 covered:

• the Pillars of Democracy (5 episodes)
• Donald Trump (6 episodes)
• Elon Musk (6 episodes)
• Tariffs (3 episodes)
• National Security (3 episodes)
• Trumps first 100 days (4 episodes)
• Project 2025 (6 episodes)
• Crypto and Corruption (5 episodes)
• NOAA and FEMA (6 episodes)
• Political Violence (3 episodes)
• ICE (6 episodes)
• Taxpayer Waste (1 episode)

By the end of the year, the pattern was unmistakable: every action-all the chaos- fit into a larger strategy.

Season 2 will explore this strategy —digging deep into Project 2025 and its ties to White supremacy.

 It uncovers the fear motivating the administration and its base: the recognition among many White conservatives that demographic change is about to threaten their political dominance.

And, we will  show how this ideology becomes federal power — through redistricting, census manipulation, voter suppression, civil-rights rollbacks, loyalty purges, enforcement tactics, and propaganda built on grievance.

Every episode follows the same goal: show how demographic fear becomes policy, from the White House down to local election offices- the very policies aimed at preserving a White America. 

This is information every American needs to understand.

Season 2 premieres January 8th.

Until then, Bella takes a break for rest, reflection, and time with family and friends.

Thank you for listening, reading, and supporting this work.

See you January 8th.

I’m here because the truth matters — and because the stakes have never been higher. Surviving Trump isn’t lighthearted. It’s clarity, evidence, and a fight for the future of our democracy.
