I don't usually pay too much attention to these Reason Roundtable convos—they're usually too naval-gazing, too high-flying posh, too DC beltway, too "left-wing" I would say.
But this episode I just kept listening to. The four Reason staffers dissect what the thing is following the Trump win...
- why are the Cathedral/left-wing media peeps losing their shit?
- Is this shit good or bad?
- Are the Trumpian rightists, while currently tearing down bad shit from the previous admin/era, about to unleash new, bad Trumpian things?
- What's up with Elon's DOGE trolling? What's the hopes for improvement?
And the main topic:
Is Politics Downstream from Culture? Are we seeing a cultural shift or just a re-set to stupidities of last ~20 years?
Well worth your time.
