There’s few voices as comforting
The first episode forcefully sets the stage for what I hope will be a journey through the last half century to help explain how a modern, thoughtful Conservative movement could devolve into a radical, conspiratorial, fact-less cult of personality hurtling towards an embrace of authoritarian rule.

Why can’t we at least agree on basic truths like the existence of climate change, that racism exists, that all humans deserve basic rights and opportunities? We need to understand these things and remedy them or a slide to strong-man fascism could become an alternative. Thank you, JM, for being a light in the darkness
