In this SPOOKY Halloween episode, I read an essay by Kimberly A Strassel in the extremely conservative Hillsdale College publication, imprints. This lady is terrified of Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani, and thinks that moderate social democracy is as terrifying as the Red Army crushing her fascist friends. BOO!

I started doing the research to make an episode about college campus sexual assault... and it was just a little too much. So, instead, let's talk about fascism! This is sections 1,2, and 3 of chapter 11, titled Tendencies to Fascism in Western Europe and America.
