Why We Vote Ep. 141: Processing Tragedy, Michigan Electors, and the Battle for Truth

CannCon and Ashe in America open with raw reflections on the assassination of Charlie Kirk, describing the emotional toll, the cultural impact, and how the tragedy is resonating with their own children and communities. They debate the premature push to name Ben Shapiro as Kirk’s “replacement,” the pressures around speaking critically of Israel, and the deeper narratives shaping public perception. The hosts then pivot to the stunning dismissal of charges against Michigan’s alternate electors, highlighting the judge’s First Amendment defense and Dana Nessel’s lawfare tactics. Through sharp analysis and candid conversation, they expose the government’s abuse of power, the dangers of silencing election challenges, and the manipulation of narrative by corporate media. From personal grief to constitutional battles, this episode captures the exhaustion, resilience, and faith needed to keep moving forward in the fight for truth.
