Hi. Those Republicans sure are hypocritical, aren't they? In this episode, we take a look at some of the many things they are hypocritical about, and analyze what that says about who they are and what they really believe.

Hi. Fascism has been on our minds lately and it looks like it's been on Ben Shapiro's as well. But, in looking through Shapiro's writing, he seems pretty confused about what fascism is, who is promoting it, when he doesn't like it, and when he totally does.

Hi. In today's episode, we look at the similar patterns followed by nearly all moral panics, whether they're about teenagers eating Tide Pods or nonsense stories about litter boxes in school restrooms.

Hi.

Hi. Peter Thiel is a tech billionaire who is spending a lot of money trying to get right-wing goons elected, either to try and create a weird libertarian pseudo-feudal quasi-fascist fantasy dystopia, or just to keep himself very rich.

Hi. The Supreme Court - which has never been an apolitical entity - has been coming out with some really frightening rulings lately and is likely to keep it up.

Hi. This week, we're taking a look at the cruelty and shamelessness of when Ron DeSantis human trafficked a bunch of migrants to Martha's Vineyard.
