• Kyla Turner: How Social Media Bots Are Destroying Political Reality | DSH #1634

  Political commentator Kyla Turner (Not So Erudite) sits down for a wide-ranging, grounded, and surprisingly practical conversation about the big issues shaping America right now — peaceful protests, political polarization, AI, China, media literacy, wealth gaps, and the chaos of online misinformation. Kyla explains why peaceful demonstrations historically work, how social media bots exaggerate political divides, why the AI boom may be a bubble, and why the U.S.–China economic rivalry matters more than people realize. She also dives into cancel culture, economic volatility, insider-trading concerns, wealth inequality, Christian nationalism, free speech, and how online platforms are warping political reality for millions.
