Failed Impeachment & Incitement To Violence: The GOP, Everybody

I recorded this conversation with Sarah Kendzior for my podcast Audio From A Collapsing State over on my Substack. I want as many people as possible to hear it, so I'm posting it here as a bonus episode of The Muckrake. Sarah and I discuss the worsening political environment as we head toward the 2024 Election, the awful trajectory of the Democratic Party as presently constituted, and where we feel this may be heading.

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman cover the bottomless pit that is the Trump Campaign's disgusting tactic of lying and race baiting. From saying the quiet part out loud "They want the white guy..." to raising the specter of violence against his political enemies, Trump has no other alternative to squeeze out just enough votes to win the race. They also discuss how Democrats are flirting with the notion of not certifying a win if Trump gets more votes. Good Times.

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman dissect what happened when Donald Trump returned to the scene of his earicide and invited Elon Musk to speak in front of a huge crowd. They then have to drag themselves through the morass that is the GOP lying about FEMA's response to hurricane Helene in order to score cheap political points. And in the utterly-not-shocking department, Oklahoma is forcing schools to buy a Trump branded bible to funnel millions into Trump's pocket.
