Ep 965: The Amnesia Machine Warms Up
The amnesia machine is already warming up as Republicans rehearse their "I was never really MAGA" speeches while Trump falsely claims Ilhan Omar staged her own chemical attack by a convicted felon Trump supporter. The episode tears apart the advice that Democrats should run against their own party to win over "average voters" who get their information from toxic sources that have been poisoning them against Democrats for decades with the Both Sides lie. As the Washington Post collapses and David Brooks gets rewarded with cushy jobs at The Atlantic and Yale, the media prepares its "both sides struggled with immigration" framing while Trump's FBI raids Georgia election offices to rig the 2026 midterms. The only path forward is relentless pressure and refusing to forgive or forget what Republicans have done, because expressions of GOP "concern" are just theater to test what polls better.
