Summary

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.

1:29.2	Brad. Yeah, lots of, I think there's a lot going on. You know, it's the week before Thanksgiving

2:04.1	happened. Dan, I just want to offer one thought on this and then we can, we can talk about it in
2:09.6	the future of course and I'm sure that the reverberations of the case will be rippling out
2:16.6	today and throughout the next little bit here throughout the country.
