Ep 980: Zombie Apocalypse
Description
Episode 980 uses The Walking Dead's central question—"The world we knew is gone, but keeping our humanity? That's a choice"—to examine whether we accept that the political and cultural America we once knew is finished. Driftglass and Blue Gal trace the Republican zombie apocalypse from its inciting incident (Bush's 2004 reelection) through Obama's failed experiment in compromise, to Hillary's "deplorables" moment that proved prescient, to today's desperate pleas to coddle Trump voters with ouchless absolution. The episode dissects why the "Let's get back to normal" caucus keeps insisting we forget the past while Republicans only get worse.
