Maoists Believe in Leprechauns | Ruminant

Jonah Goldberg knows his time is nearly up. In a few days, his body will be baking in the Arizona sun, washed up on the rocks at some bend in the Colorado River, just the next casualty of mandatory fun time. Time to go out with a bang. Join Jonah as he steers the HMS Remnant into position for a ripping, boneshattering broadside into the Red Fleet of the Democratic Socialists of America. Along the way, listen as the doomed Captain Jonah ruminates on new liberal friends, policing one’s own side, Israel, socialists, bravery on the cheap, Graham Platner, institutionalized lying, courts finding the truth, and the importance of American wealth.  Show Notes: —Friday’s DisPod —Wednesday G-File —LA Times column —Jonah’s commie Twitter thread —Mamdani Celebrates America's 250 Years With Call for Unity and Democracy —Eli Lake on DSA —Nellie Bowles newsletter —Scott Lincicome in The Dispatch - “GDP Is Good, Actually” The Remnant is a production of ⁠The Dispatch⁠, a digital media company covering politics, policy, and culture from a nonpartisan perspective.
