The Fight for The Republic enters its finale!
On May 8th, 1919 the German public is about to awaken from a dream.

On December 7th, 2022, Germany witnessed one of its largest counter-terrorism operations of the post-war era. Over 3000 security officers searched 150 homes and arrested multiple people who had planned to violently infiltrade the German parliament, topple the democratic order and elevate a minor noble to the position of monarch. Strap in as we dissect this coup-attempt and the various (self-declared) kingdoms that exist within Germany.

Finally some good news! With the midterms in the rear window, we do a post-mortem on the Republicans historic defeat. Not just that but how they ramped up anti-LGBTQ legislation and transphobia in an effort to convince voters, only to make themselves look weird and creepy to the average joe.

On May 1st, 1919 the city of Munich stands surrounded. 
35.000 soldiers, part government troops, part Freikorps stand ready to storm ahead and snuff out the revolutionaries controlling the city. While they load bombs onto their airplanes and fuel up british tanks captured during the war, they start painting skulls and swastikas on their steel helmets.
The battle for Munich is about to begin.

While we're working on the next FftR episode, Dan takes a shot at talking about something we hear a lot in the context of the podcast; namely the question 
"Is the US. in a similiar state as Weimar Germany was in its time?"
But instead of looking for similarities that don't really fit, lets look at the lessons we can take from that period, where the left went wrong and what we can do right now.
