Weekly Roundup: Through the Gaetz of Hell (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast)

Brad begins with an analytical discussion of political nihilism in order to provide a window into the chaos in congress created by the ouster of Speaker Kevin McCarthy. 

They then provide a historical timeline of government shutdowns and congressional chaos going back to the Tea Party. 

For Dan, this is a long time coming – a populist revolt with no goal except for destruction. 

For Brad, it is a matter of political fantasy and the refusal to live in a world of political complexity, negotiation, and disagreement.
