In this week's episode, we dive deep into the infrastructure project nobody wants to talk about: the construction of political lifeboats.
What are we witnessing as Trump's administration unfolds? We're seeing the familiar pattern of those who enabled catastrophe beginning to build their escape routes—just as they did after the Bush administration collapsed, when the "Fake Tea Party" served as the greatest mass escape operation since D-Day—allowing pro-Bush Republicans to magically transform into constitutional conservatives who'd never heard of Bush or Cheney.
We borrow from Buddhist concepts of Big Boats and Little Boats to understand how media validators help the guilty avoid accountability. We hear from a Charlotte resident about what Trump's policies are doing to his city right now. And we ask: when Trump falls, will there finally be a reckoning—or just another round of "let's look forward, not backward"?
All this and more on this week's Professional Left podcast.
