The Arrington Gavin Show Ep. 479 “AMANDA’S MILD TAKES”

Arrington welcomes to the show Amanda Nelson of "Amanda's Mild Takes". Amanda’s explanatory videos about Trump and Congress are little oases of calm. Her no-nonsense, allergic-to-hysteria vibe has led many of her followers to credit her with maintaining their sanity during this time of extreme political uncertainty. In the months since Trump’s inauguration, the self-described amateur historian has gotten popular enough to earn follows from members of Congress and state legislators across the country. While plenty of her 400,000+ followers on Instagram and TikTok are stockpiling nonperishables or spiraling about the flop era of American democracy, Amanda urges restraint.
