Welcome to 2022: a year where the culture wars will become bloodier, the politicians will get dumber, and the utopia of scolding will be fully realized. Oh yeah, it’s gonna be rough.
But it’ll also be the year of Useful Idiots. So stick with us, we’ll do our best to make it suck a little less.
In this extended interview with the great Thomas Frank, we have a lot to dissect:
Biden’s accomplishments (Frank can name three) and failures (there’s more than three)
The US’s terrible Covid response that will only ensure we’re stuck in an endless pandemic
The political prediction for 2022 (one party is “in huge trouble”)
And how the Dems missed an opportunity to never lose another election
It’s a high-energy, up and down, funny and sad, retrospective and predictive episode. Subscribe now to watch, it’s gonna be a fun Useful Idiot year.
Where is the audio or video? I am a logged in subscriber but this page is only provided a clickable image. UPDATE: It seems to be a website page issue. This happens if I click the smaller image link in the main list below, but If I take the top jumbo link then I at arrive at the subscriber page with the audio and video.
I enjoy the show and I don't want to come off as critical, but I'm curious about the choices made in how the full shows are being released. Why not release the full interview to substack subscribers the same day as the show release?
