Weekly Roundup: One God, One Country, One Leader - On Leaving the Realm of Democracy
Manage episode 307588531 series 2500875
Brad and Dan discuss the censuring of Rep. Paul Gosar for his tweet depicting him as an anime character killing Rep AOC. This leads to a bold, but evidence-based thesis: There is no good Republican party. If it ever existed in the first place, it is now gone. What has taken its place is a party founded on Trumpism, grievance, and fascist tendencies.
After providing evidence for this thesis, Brad and Dan ask two questions:
What happens in parties and states where contradicting the leader is the only reason a member is punished?
What happens when such parties/states give their authority a religious cloak?
The episode finishes with a discussion of the recent instance of Kansas City residents donning yellow stars in order to compare their situations as unvaccinated people to the Jews in Nazi Germany.
