“I have listened to this show a few times including latest with Gasporov and I’m surprised by this constant bothside-ism.
So we have the GOP, who are rising authoritarians and are openly advocating for political violence and moving steadily towards fascism and it’s called only “cult of personality”. Then we have the Dems, who are having debates on what is free speech and whether there should be censoring in any of it and it’s put on the same level as rising fascism by Mounk and many of his guests. Except Chomsky, thankfully. I suppose when one’s worldview is white, male aligned, anything like “cancel culture” threatening their position, is treated the same as rising authoritarianism. You’re smarter than this. When I listen to this drivel, I see clearly how this democracy will go down. When the GOP starts fulfilling their project of destroying the democracy and the violence begins, “moderates” will be twisting their fingers, saying, “oh, but the cancel culture is too much!” We are in trouble.”
