Liberalism: The Bulwark against abusive government. Plus, Maine stiff arms the DOJ

In this 75th episode, Brian, Chris and Andy explored ideas in liberalism, including a recent article arguing that liberalism is more than solely striving towards greater freedom but also stands as the bulwark against abusive behavior. They also touched on Virginia’s upcoming elections while looking at the recent stand by Maine’s Secretary of State as she resisted Department of Justice efforts for state voter information. That, and the guys had a little fun as Chris had to make a critical choice on who he would fire first: Jerry Jones or Donald Trump? Relevant links to today’s episode:Gradual Change is F***ing Awesome—And Liberalism Knows It; On Darwin, abuse, and Costanza politics.'Go jump in the Gulf of Maine': Maine denies DOJ's request for list of state voters VA elections:Virginia Republicans sound alarm over governor’s race: ‘It’s a disaster’Earle-Sears attacks media as campaign struggles in polls and fundraising Virginia & Other News:Governor announces $40 million to prepare business sites across VirginiaNorthern Virginia wants to become an AI hub.
