Dan Savage on blue America in the age of Trump

In this episode, I talk with activist, sex advice columnist, and
progressive journalist Dan Savage about the legacy of “The Urban
Archipelago,” a groundbreaking piece he commissioned and edited
two decades ago in the wake of GW Bush’s reelection, urging
Democrats to embrace cities as their political base and future.
We explore how NIMBY-captured Democratic city leadership has
stifled urban potential — and why improving and growing cities
isn’t just policy; it’s party building.
