Donald Trump has picked big fights on multiple fronts…and lost.

In this episode, Matt and Brian discuss:

* The narrow question of how Trump and MAGA lost the culture war fight they picked with Bad Bunny and the NFL.

* How we ended up in a situation a year ago, when it seemed that MAGA had, on balance, won the fight over the direction and influence of American culture.

* How the worm turned back, or whether it was all an illusion in the first place.

Then, Trump also lost the mid-decade redistricting fight he picked, thanks in large part to the fight-first approach embraced by Virginia’s new governor, Abigail Spanberger, who prioritized aggressive gerrymandering over legacy policy issues. Is her approach replicable? What would it mean to take it national? And what are some other things Dem can do (nationally and in battleground states) to keep Trump on the back foot through the midterms.
