Head-ON with Roxanne Kincaid – May 2, 2025
This episode of the Roxanne Kincaid Show dives deep into the absurdities of MAGAT politics, global shifts in power, and the fight to preserve progressive values in the face of growing authoritarianism. Roxanne, self-described as a “liberal transbilly elitist,” cusses and discusses the MAGAT embrace of ignorance, American decline, and the urgency of community action.
Key topics include:
– Rep. Mike Collins’s “Halal” hysteria, reacting with bigotry to CHA Street Food replacing Steak 'n Shake in a House office building, likening it to the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem. Roxanne mocks his ignorance of halal/kosher cuisine and South Asian food in general—while noting real crises in Collins’s own district.
– Trump (aka “Nitwit Nero”) butchering history, claiming the Declaration of Independence is about “unity and love,” which Roxanne compares to a Barney Fife-level misunderstanding. Even immigrants passing citizenship tests do better.
– MAGAT voter “Cletus” laments Trump’s economic inaction, showcasing disconnects between MAGAT expectations and Trump’s actions.
– More MAGAT absurdities, from Collins cheering racist chants to Trump demanding a birthday military parade and disrespecting Veterans Day.
Beyond domestic politics, Roxanne discusses:
– Canadian PM Mark Carney declaring the US-led global trade system “over” and lamenting “American betrayal,” signaling waning U.S. global relevance.
– The U.S. as a ‘rounding error’ globally, outpaced by the populations of China and India, and possibly facing reserve currency displacement.
– Talk of a post-dollar global economy, with possible currency baskets including the yuan, euro, rupee, and pound.
Amid concern for the U.S.'s fading clout, Roxanne uplifts her Horn family community, now connecting via Discord to maintain dialogue and solidarity. The show encourages listener support, podcast reviews, and highlights the work of Coal River Mountain Watch in fighting mountaintop removal. One donor even issues a challenge grant to boost fundraising.
There's also some cautious optimism:
– VP Kamala Harris is praised for tackling homebuying issues and price gouging.
– The Quote ID contest continues, with Gatsby fans winning this round.
But the future looms ominous. Roxanne warns of:
– Climate catastrophe and the elite’s seeming desire to abandon Earth (à la Elon Musk).
– Mass extermination ideologies cloaked in "Western civilization" rhetoric by white Christian nationalists.
– The Georgia Guidestones as a metaphor for techno-dystopian “rebuilding” under authoritarian rule.
– A creeping American imperial presidency, with comparisons to Rome’s descent into empire.
Despite it all, Roxanne returns to a core message: community, resistance, and clarity of thought are vital. Whether through mocking MAGAT nonsense or spotlighting real threats to democracy and the planet, the show calls for vigilance, truth-telling, and action.
