S2 Ep1037: Katie Phang and Greg Casar: Trump & Co Are the Real Flag Burners

What I've really seen is how deliberate the extreme right-wing strategy is to break stuff and then complain about it and then campaign about how it's broken and then break it more. That kind of works alongside the law of entropy, that it's easier to break stuff than to make it.

You know, like a two-year-old can go and shatter that microphone in front of you, but it's pretty complicated and takes a lot of people to put it together. And if people stop believing that we can make things better, Then you just turn against each other and you kind of undo the entire democratic project of working alongside one another.

And so what's alarming to me is how hard it might be, even if we figure out and we should need to figure out how to take this thing back, take our government back into the hands of people that want to make things. Just how much stuff is broken and how much of an opening they've created for people to keep cynically breaking things, campaigning and winning power that way.

That's not part of the doom scroll. For me, one of the tracks that I think we might be on in the multiverse here, which world I think we might be in, is one where we can win the midterms and provide some check on Trump in a year and a half, which of course is critical and we've got to do. But then if we go, okay, as long as we just point out that they break stuff,

And then we win the midterm election, which in the midterms is much more voters that read the news. And we just go and win it back that way that we kind of pat ourselves on the back, clean our hands and say, hey, we're good for the next presidential. And then we go get our lunch eaten by J.D. Vance or somebody else like that for eight years after that.
