Political violence in America isn’t just an American problem — it ripples across the globe. From the JFK assassination to the recent Trump rally shooting attempt, U.S. politics has become a cultural spectacle that South Africans consume daily through memes, debates, and viral clips.
In this episode, we unpack:
Why U.S. political violence shakes global culture.
How America’s culture wars spill into South African debates.
The difference between African American struggles and African realities.
Why treating politics as entertainment is dangerous for democracy everywhere.
It’s a heavy conversation — but one we can’t ignore. Are we spectators of U.S. chaos, or are we learning lessons for our own fragile democracy?
