📣 The Red States Screamed for Help

In this episode of Fighting Matters, Steve Kwan from BJJ Mental Models and Jesse Walker of Rough Hands BJJ in Louisville, Kentucky talk through an election night where Texas and Kansas went blue and Mississippi looks set to follow. They make the case that this was red states screaming for help and demanding accountability, and that Democrats may not get another chance like this if they waste it.
