Love ‘em or hate ‘em, The Bulwark matters. We value and respect their prominent position in the pro-democracy movement. Yet despite their success, the Bulwark advises on politics from a point of view so ideologically blinkered that it puts the entire movement at risk.
In this week’s episode, we discussed:
All about “reactionary centrism,” David Roberts’s January 30 conversation with Michael Hobbes
How Big Is MAGA, Really?, Mona Charen’s February 5 Bulwark post
David French: Our State of National Shame, the February 6 Bulwark podcast with Tim Miller
Law Enforcement Says ICE & DHS Are Making Policing Worse, a January 30 focus group analysis with Tim Miller and Sarah Longwell
