NEWS
As a new authoritarian movement rises in American politics, stoked by one of the country’s most outrageous demagogues, there is an all-out international manhunt for an American traitor. The U.S. Army’s Nazi war crimes trials in Germany have been infiltrated by a spy -- a mole for the other side. A gruesome foreign influence operation unfolds in Washington. A blackmail plot turns deadly in the U.S. Senate. A Hail Mary scheme to stop the counting of the Electoral College votes rattles democracy’s cage. With the line between the violent ultra-right and mainstream American politics fraying beyond recognition, with the FBI always one step behind their quarry, Americans of all stripes step up to confront a seemingly unstoppable, ascendant, anti-democratic force. Join Rachel Maddow for Episode One, launching June 10, 2024, and follow now.

I still fail to understand how people fall into this unhinged stuff but just look at these reviews. There are way too many of these feeble minded lunatics out there. I hope there is help for them, but I doubt it. Anyone who can look at J6 and think these treasonous monsters don’t deserve hard prison time is beyond all reasoning. At least they wear their little red hats so normal people know who to watch out for.
Heartbreaking and Infuriating

Well done podcast. The family’s (understandable) refusal to understand and accept an addict may use again, no matter how much their “sobriety is the most important thing in the world to them)” is infuriating and heartbreaking. All the signs and evidence are there. The friend that mentioned her odd fidgeting behavior was just dismissed! The heightened situation she was in likely elevated her anxiety and blood pressure also affecting her ability to breath. She may still be alive if she wasn’t compromised by amphetamine and poor health. Looks to me like all these factors were part of the cause. She was already dead by the time the physical trauma would have possibly killed her. Sorry, that’s my opinion. A tragic loss no matter what and Trump is indirectly at fault. The insane conspiracy theories fueled the madness that took her and other’s lives. The Capital police barely fought back knowing they were outnumbered. I was shocked they didn’t open fire. They had every right to. It was a treasonous insurrection.

This was an excellent series investigating how people can fall into the rabbit hole of buying into conspiracy theorists and con artists. Understandably, it’s a tough listen for people who struggle with critical thinking.
