America has always told itself a story about freedom, opportunity, and equality — but beneath the surface, fear has often shaped our politics more than facts.

In this episode of Inside American Politics by Skoob, we explore how xenophobia and Islamophobia have been strategically used in U.S. elections, not as reactions to crises, but as deliberate political tools. From the Palmer Raids of the 1920s to the post-9/11 surveillance state, and from immigration quotas to modern travel bans, this episode traces a disturbing pattern: fear spikes when power is up for grabs.

We break down how immigrants and Muslims have been turned into economic scapegoats, how language like “alien” dehumanizes entire communities, and how cultural anxiety is weaponized to distract voters from inequality, corporate power, and systemic failures.

Using historical records, FBI data, and modern political analysis, this episode reveals why xenophobia isn’t accidental — it’s engineered, recycled every election cycle, and sold as patriotism.

If you want to understand why fear keeps winning in American politics, who benefits from division, and what history warns us about repeating the same mistakes, this is an episode you can’t afford to miss.

In 1963, Birmingham, Alabama became the epicenter of America’s moral reckoning. This episode of Inside American Politics by Skoob tells the full story of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, one of the most devastating acts of racial terrorism in U.S. history.

We trace the events leading up to that Sunday morning—from Bull Connor’s violent crackdown, the Children’s Crusade, and televised police brutality, to the Ku Klux Klan’s Cahaba Boys and their deadly plot. Four innocent girls—Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson, and Denise McNair—were killed while preparing for Sunday school, shocking the nation and the world.

This deep dive explores how the bombing accelerated the Civil Rights Movement, helped pave the way for the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and exposed the long delays and failures of justice that followed. It’s a story of hate, courage, accountability, and the enduring question America still faces today.

What if American democracy isn’t being overthrown — but quietly optimized out of existence?

In this explosive episode of Inside American Politics by Skoob, we expose how Silicon Valley’s most powerful tech billionaires have reshaped U.S. politics behind closed doors. From algorithm-driven voter manipulation and shadow presidencies to billion-dollar inauguration donations and backroom policy influence, this episode breaks down how Big Tech moved from innovation to domination.

We examine the rise of tech oligarchs like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, the weaponization of social media algorithms, and how private platforms gained the power to influence elections, foreign policy, and federal regulation — all without a single vote cast.

This isn’t a theory. It’s a documented shift in power — from voters to code, from Congress to corporate boardrooms.

On the night of January 5th, 2021—just hours before the U.S. Capitol would be attacked—two pipe bombs were secretly planted near the headquarters of both the Republican and Democratic National Committees.

Operation CHAOS was one of the most secretive and controversial intelligence programs in American history — a CIA operation that quietly turned its surveillance powers inward. In this episode of Inside American Politics by Skoob, host Bradley Teller uncovers how fear, paranoia, and presidential pressure led the CIA to monitor anti-war protesters, civil rights activists, journalists, and ordinary American citizens during the Vietnam War era.

From secret files and wiretaps to internal resistance inside Langley, this deep dive explores how Operation CHAOS blurred legal boundaries, violated constitutional principles, and ultimately reshaped intelligence oversight in the United States. We break down how the program began, how it expanded under multiple presidents, and how its exposure triggered the Church Committee, intelligence reforms, and lasting distrust in government surveillance.

This is not just history — it’s a warning about power, secrecy, and how easily democracy can be tested from within.
