James reunites with Anna Hoffman for a no-holds-barred takedown of Michigan’s girlboss political era. They trace how the Democratic Party’s fixation on identity politics—especially promoting women as symbols of progress—has backfired, leaving voters disillusioned and real issues ignored. From Gretchen Whitmer’s curated brand to Jocelyn Benson’s backroom rise, the duo contrasts style with substance and digs into why Mike Duggan may have fled his own party. They argue that abortion, once the Democrats’ emotional anchor, is now politically exhausted—and without it, the party’s hollow messaging is crumbling.
