The Big Rig

It’s Tuesday, November 17, 2020, and welcome back to The McSpencer Group ... an unrehearsed, hastily assembled program about meta-politics. Joining me as usual is Edward Dutton: he is a golfer, and he’s also a conservative. Main topic: The Big RigJoseph Robinette Biden Jr.—yes, that is actually his name—has won the 2020 U.S. presidential election. But Republicans aren’t having any of it. And that holds two-fold for Donald Trump’s most avid fans. Massive voter fraud . . . counting machine with Communist parts . . . late-night ballot dumping . . . You’ve heard it all. The Trump team’s lawsuits are getting tossed out of Court, but the diehards keep on believin’. Ed and I take a step back. Beyond the allegations, is something deeper taking place? Is this what “civil war” actually looks like in the 21st century: less organized violence but the same level of mutual loathing, mistrust, and dehumanization.
