Jane Coaston appeared as a guest on the podcast The Realignment during an episode titled The Realignment Ep. 74: Jane Coaston Returns With How To Understand the 2020 Ele, which was released on November 12, 2020. During her appearance on the podcast, she discussed the complexities of modern political behavior and the ways in which everyday individuals form their political perspectives. To illustrate her point during the conversation, Jane Coaston brought up the book Dignity by Chris Arnade. She praised the book for doing a really good job in general and indicated that it succeeded in showing how most people's politics do not stem from ascribing to a specific, rigid political philosophy. According to her analysis on the podcast, Chris Arnade's work effectively captures this reality regarding ordinary citizens and their political views. The discussion offered listeners a perspective on how grassroots political beliefs often diverge from the theoretical frameworks utilized by political elites and commentators. By referencing Dignity, she reinforced her arguments about the disconnect between standard political discourse and the actual lived experiences and motivations of the general public during the 2020 election cycle.

“It reminds me of basically every story from Genesis not to get biblical here but there's the story of when Moses goes up Mount Sinai to get the Ten Commandments. He tells everyone, 'Okay, I'm gonna go talk to God, I'll be right back', and they're like, 'Cool, great.'”
