Apex Ascend Episode 9 From Lincoln to Trump
In this episode, Rodney LaBruce dives deep into the historical cycles that have defined the Republican Party—from Lincoln to Roosevelt to Eisenhower—and the consequences when those cycles break.
When the GOP focused on the people, America thrived. But when it turned to serve the interests of corporations and the elite, economic collapse and moral decay followed.
Rodney explores the structural contradiction between the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, explains how Abraham Lincoln viewed America’s founding ideals, and unpacks the slaveholder mentality that still haunts our systems today.
From the Great Depression to the Great Recession—and now, Trump’s policies on steroids—this isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a warning.
Listen now to learn how we got here—and what must come next.
