Justin discusses the Republican attempts to capitalize on tough on crime narratives in the midterms, how they've used those narratives historically and how it has ballooned the carceral state, and how Democrats furthered that process by co-signing tough on crime politics.

Trevor talks about our anti-political moment ushered in by the fall of Trump and the rise of Joe Biden with its promise to return us to the neoliberal consensus at the end of history, and how it has been both reinforced by and reflected in culture.
