The Rise of Economic Populism and Cultural

Karol Markowicz sits down with Kevin Smith, founder of Loud Majority and host of Loud Majority Live, for a wide-ranging conversation about grassroots activism, New York politics, the culture wars, and the power of getting involved at the local level.

Kevin shares how the COVID lockdown era transformed him from a delivery driver into a political activist, beginning with Trump car parades across Long Island before expanding into school board races, local elections, campaigns, and political media. He explains why COVID restrictions awakened many Americans to the importance of local government—and why changing a school board or city council can sometimes have a more immediate impact on your life than national politics.

Karol and Kevin also discuss the political transformation of Long Island, why so many New Yorkers are leaving the state, personal responsibility in an era of economic frustration, the WNBA and the culture wars, celebrities getting political, the decline of Hollywood entertainment, and whether American culture is beginning to shift away from ideological preaching.

Plus, Kevin offers his prediction for the rise of economic populism and shares his advice for anyone who wants to improve their life: focus on what you can control, take responsibility, and don't be afraid to stand up for what you believe.
