Hailing from Celina Tennessee, Trae Crowder is a standup comedian, writer, and self-proclaimed “Liberal Redneck.” Trae gained national attention (or notoriety, depending on your viewpoint) with his viral video rants and has been performing and touring his particular brand of Southern-fried intellectual comedy for over a decade.

Trae addresses the question of “What Could Possibly Go Right?” through his socially aware comedic view, sharing thoughts including:

• That there’s inexorable positive progress in social issues over time, despite setbacks in the short-term.
• That each new generation makes advancements in social awareness; for today’s young people, “the default position seems to be one of wokeness.”
• That in spite of stereotypes, “in any given state, 40 something percent of people voted blue, but the state still shows up red on a map.”
• That when considering issues such as racism, the wider USA needs to avoid “using the South as a scapegoat, and in doing so, act like they don't have those problems where they live.”
• That we could all use more empathy to understand others’ perspectives and experiences in our day-to-day lives.
