BONUS PREVIEW: The Republicans forgot how to use the internet
Notas do episódio
On Tuesday’s midterms, the Democrats were finally not in disarray — and despite all the handwringing, we got a blue tsunami that was “too big to rig.” How did they do it, or perhaps more importantly, how did the Republicans mess this up so badly?
Ryan & Grant analyze the election results and submit that the GOP got too bad at the internet. Liberals abandoning Twitter after it became X left right-wingers in an echo chamber where they had no one to fight but themselves, and neglected all the other platforms they should’ve been focusing on.
Plus, are Democrats going through the party transformation the GOP did in the mid-2000s (except in a good way)? And is Trump really Hitler, or is he more like the kaiser who leads to the real baddie?
