What is American Culture?

What defines American culture—and who actually gets written into the laws that govern it? In this episode of We Vote Too, host Leise Winny pulls back the curtain on how media, entertainment, and identity politics dictate policy, power, and the ballot box. Joining the show is comedian, actor, and co-host of SiriusXM’s Urban View Mornings, Lamont King, bringing sharp cultural commentary and unfiltered truth to the table. In this episode, we unpack: Guns and the Hollywood Myth: How westerns, action films, and ideas of American exceptionalism normalized a gun culture where firearms outnumber citizens—and the hard numbers behind the crisis. Culture Wars in Sports: The disproportionate political panic over trans athletes, the reality behind collegiate and youth participation numbers, and recent political stunts aimed at the WNBA. Comedy as a Cultural Mirror: Why comedians and social commentators remain essential voices for holding politics accountable and reflecting the society we actually live in. Can American culture truly represent all of us if our laws were never built to include everyone? Tune in, follow the show, and share your thoughts in the comments.
