Vanity: Hulk Hogan's Scandal, GOP Evolution, & My Self-Reflection

Join host Bruce Anthony on this episode of Unsolicited Perspectives as he takes you on a journey through the unexpected twists and turns of his mind. Bruce kicks things off with a deep dive into his lifelong passion for professional wrestling, specifically his early idol, Hulk Hogan. But it's not all body slams and leg drops—Bruce pulls no punches as he unpacks how Hogan's use of racial slurs and controversial political remarks shattered his admiration, leaving him disillusioned.

From there, Bruce seamlessly transitions into a historical exploration of the Republican Party's transformation. He traces its evolution from the days of Abraham Lincoln, when it was rooted in opposing the expansion of slavery, to its current state under Donald Trump, marked by a dramatic shift in values and ideology.

But it wouldn’t be an episode of Unsolicited Perspectives without some candid self-reflection. Bruce wraps things up by getting personal, sharing how his vanity—manifested in his obsession with appearance and personal grooming—plays out in his daily life. Whether you're here for the wrestling nostalgia, the political analysis, or the personal insights, this episode offers something for everyone. #UnsolicitedPerspectives #GOPevolution #RepublicanPartyHistory #HulkHogan #vanity
