In this episode, Alex ponders what decision Aaron Rodgers will make as he has emerged from his darkness retreat. Then Alex discusses how Mexico has finally defunded/reformed an independent election agency that was crucial in allowing democratic elections take place in Mexico after decades of autocracy. It seems like AMLO, Mexico’s semi-autocratic president, wants to make the 2024 election neither free nor fair. Next, Alex discusses why he thinks the MAGA movement does not support aiding Ukraine. It seems like Trump and his fellow lawmakers do not see Putin as the problem. If Ukraine wins, it is a victory for democracy, right when the MAGA movement is trying to erode democracy and establish something else. Finally, Alex ponders whether we should fear ChatGPT or the companies that have created these chatbots.
