Facist apologia where “eminence” is defined yelling “woke bad” on Substack while the world burns
You can’t purport to be a showcase for modern intellectualism and have CHRIS CILLIZZA as a guest. Even when the show has guests with brain cells, the conversations are just very weak justifications for a kind of centrism / cultural conservatism that is already on its way out as a cultural trend.
