Rick Perlstein: The Alternative Is Apocalyptic

from The Bulwark Podcast · host The Bulwark

The modern conservative movement has a built-in ratcheting-up mechanism, so that even when Republicans win, they act like they're losing and the country is on the verge of collapse. Even Democrats long for the days of responsible, Main Street conservatives. But today's GOP is racing headlong into authoritarianism, and the fever is not going to break until we defeat it. Rick Perlstein joins Tim Miller.show notes:Rick on Project 2025Rick on abortionRick on the "authoritarian ratchet"
