Trump Has Gone Full Fascist

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss Donald Trump's rhetoric on the campaign trail, and how it could widen his base despite being rooted in fascistic Naziism. Joe Manchin is "retiring" as he realizes he couldn't win another West Virginia Senate race, and wants to play spoiler in the presidential contest. They finish off the pod by talking about The Rock weighing a political bid plus how the right wing concocts their own ridiculousness, in this case Ouija Boards and AI, and then scare themselves with it endlessly.
