We missed the rapture! This week we're diving deep into the political machine playbook - because understanding the past is the only way to make sense of the insanity we're witnessing today.

Why are Republicans frantically trying to turn a dead podcaster into the next Confederate monument? And what does it mean when your political strategy depends on keeping your base at a "full boil" 24/7?

Plus, we examine how history is rewritten in real time, why the "people of influence" keep enabling strongmen, and what happens when a political movement runs out of deliverable promises.

Why does Trump's administration feel so familiar yet so different from classic American political corruption? What can the iron grip of Chicago's Mayor Daley teach us about how power really works? And how did we get from neighborhood patronage politics to fascist spectacles complete with rolling crosses and martyr-making? Because if we don't remember this stuff, who will?

Not safe for work. Recorded live from the Cornfield Resistance.
