Watching a House of Cards Collapse
Nov 16, 2020•1 hr 26 min•Ep 88•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
A segment of the right-wing public has morphed into a conspiracy theory machine that is—in David’s words—propagating baseless voter fraud allegations at “a geometric rate that [bears] increasingly no relationship to the real world at the same time as the actual claims in court are just evaporating.” Why are people on the right and the left so susceptible to electoral conspiracy theories? After David and Sarah play catchup on the latest developments involving election litigation, they dive into a 1st Circuit race-based admissions case at Harvard, the latest updates on DACA, and The Mandalorian.
Show Notes:
-Andrew Fleischman thread on election lawsuits
-Harvard affirmative action case, DACA decision, history of discrimination with SAT and Jewish applicants
