As detailed today, the ongoing meltdown began long before the campaign of Donald Trump, whose angry, dangerous, paranoid speech in West Palm Beach, Florida on Thursday offered only a glimpse into the party's decades-long lurch towards the fact-free 'reality' they've worked to create for all of us. No longer tethered to facts or truth, but to a nominee who embodies and reflects the very xenophobic, nativist, racist, and misogynistic tactics employed for political gain over at least the last two Presidential Administrations, the beginning of a reckoning may finally be in sight.
Yet, even those GOPers who finally understand some of this — and many in the corporate media who've enabled it for so long — still fail to grasp the gravity of the moment, their own culpability, and the traumatic stress the nation faces in the bargain. Nonetheless, our message today: We're going to be okay, there is a way out. All of that and what you can do to help us get there — as illustrated with the news of the day, a bit of listener mail and even some South Park(!) — on today's BradCast.
