Democratic Prepping: Surviving the GOP
Description
THE DANGEROUS ONES | EPISODE 10 | DEMOCRATIC PREPPING: SURVIVING THE GOP
America isn’t just bracing for another election—we’re preparing for survival
As the GOP slashes safety net programs, Americans across the country are being forced to “prep” for the fallout—not from war, not from natural disaster, but from Republican cruelty. This week on The Dangerous Ones, we’re exposing what’s at stake and what Americans are doing to prepare. Because the GOP isn’t just waging a political war—they’re waging war on the vulnerable.
The People's Hotline drives the conversation as we take call about:
📞 Blue Dots in Red states - You are NOT alone.
📞 What are YOU doing to prepare for the fallout of the Republican attack on safety net programs and resources? Callers from all around America sharing their tips and tricks on what to do now that the programs built to support The People are being decimated. We tell you what to put into a "Blue Out" bag
📞 The Tesla Boycotts - What say you?
📞 A survivor of sexual assault calls in to warn us: Her abuser now works in the White House.
📞 A veteran from a family that has served since the Civil War—is beside himself at Trump’s attacks on democracy.
This is real. This is happening now.
🎙️ Listen now. Stay informed. Stay prepared. And for the love of democracy—stay dangerous.

ABOUT HE DANGEROUS ONES
The Dangerous Ones isn't just a podcast—it's a movement. Spearheaded by veteran activists and award-winning creators, Jim & Tiffany Drastic of Eleven Films, and Nick Knudsen, executive director of DemCast USA, this weekly pro-democracy broadcast stands as a bold alternative to the typical mainstream media Sunday morning news carousel.
Each episode ignites the airwaves with candid and uncensored discussions sparked by callers to their hotline, dubbed 'The People’s Hotline.' It serves as a powerful conduit for the voices of everyday Americans to sound off on how the current administration and its policies are impacting their lives and often their mental wellbeing. Jim, Tiffany, and Nick take great pride in amplifying these stories and, whenever possible, provide actionable solutions that harness the power of organizing, protesting, digital activism, and creative content creation.
Beyond the Sunday morning show, The Dangerous Ones create daily viral video content that focuses on breaking political and cultural news with their unique, hard-hitting style. They also craft in-depth articles for their successful Substack, 'The Teal and Orange Report'—named after the colors of their logo. Subscribers to The Teal and Orange Report enjoy exclusive access to videos, articles, sneak peeks, and behind-the-scenes content.
Produced by their company, TDO Media, in the creative district of Portland, Oregon, The Dangerous
