David and Andrew return to wonder whether Trump will ever concede, whether he even wants Republicans to win the Georgia Senate runoffs, what demographics will drive the results in that state, whether the Collins and Murkowskis of the world actually would prefer a Democratic Senate, what Mitch McConnell really is after and why 2022 will be like an extended stay in Vegas. The elections may be mostly over but the fun never ends on this pod…

David and Andrew are back to celebrate President-Elect Biden and Vice President-Elect Harris, how the election both was close and not so close, whether Texas is following the same path as Georgia and what it means that Georgia is the center of the political universe and what promises should Dems make to win the two Senate run-offs there.

David and Andrew take stock of a post-election world in which turnout was off the charts, Biden likely has won and yet the Democrats still face a bleak future. They map out what it means for the markets, who will win GA (both presidential and maybe 2 run-offs), the eagerness of SCOTUS to indulge its radical dreams, where the progressive future went and whether anything about tribalism (and Latino voters) can be drawn from election returns. This is the podcast to drown your sorrows and emerge fearful and hopeful all at once.

David and Andrew discuss the state of the race at 1 am ET on Election Night where AZ, PA, MI, WI, NC and GA still are up for grabs.

David and Andrew talk what is happening on Election Night so far, with David in the unusual position of feeling more optimistic about our chance of escaping Trump. Stay tuned for a fuller reaction two hours from now!

David and Andrew return with rapid fire predictions about the presidential race and every major Senate race, how to watch the returns like an expert, the whiteness of White County, the scariest statistic about PA turnout, the history of November 3 & stories/fears about the mix of guns and elections. Nowhere else can you learn as much in as entertaining a fashion in such a short amount of time.

David and Andrew count down the days until Election 2020 by predicting the Southern Sunbelt quartet of TX, FL, NC and GA (with Andrew getting queasy at every reference to Florida, the Lucy with the football state for Dems) and run the gamut from SCOTUS shenanigans, David’s voting plan, golf cart parades, Bob Effing Dole and what to avoid while podding. Brilliant, ridiculous and sublime, this pod will comfort you all the way to Election Eve…

David and Andrew enter the final week of Election 2020 predicting the outcomes in the states that broke our hearts in 2016 (PA, WI, MI and OH), whether Republicans will regret winning the 2016 election if Trump loses next week, the amazing early turnout in GA and TX, the sham of the current SCOTUS and David’s surprise encounter with Biden’s visit to GA. Erudite, entertaining and packed with humor and sparring, this is the 2020 pod for you…

During the fake news cycle that the night’s earlier pod with David was lost, Andrew recorded a *second* pod with special guest Matt to give instant reaction to the last debate of the 2020 presidential cycle where they picked Joe’s highlights and tried to find moments where Trump seemed, well, presidential. The pod ends with an interesting connection and parallel between a program Matt is rewatching and the cursed Trump era. The best bonus debate reaction anywhere in the podiverse.

David and Andrew return to talk the best and worst moments of the (probably) final debate of Donald J. Trump’s political career and whether Texas or Georgia says more about the state of the race before exploding into a profane and contentious yet humorous debate over Covid.

https://onenationunderfascism.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/goyaeye.mp3 The essential pod of our time returns with David playing Trump 2020 slogan maker, testing “Trump 2020:  Death Isn’t the Only Form of Carnage” or “Trump 2020:  Biden is Way Too Squeamish About Death” or “Trump 2020:  Suck it up, Teachers, You’re Gonna Die At Some Point”.  We pour one out for Sessions, gassed protestors and the 14,740 kids who might die in Trump’s reopening and talk Biden’s priorities among the second tier targets of Texas, Ohio, Iowa and David’s Georgia before David reveals that he might be the Greatest American Hero.  Listen, laugh and/or light yourself on fire all to the dulcet sounds of our voices…

https://onenationunderfascism.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/octopilfy.mp3 David and Andrew return to heatedly argue about the reopening of schools, with David playing the Jaws mayor/Trump and Andrew worried about, you know, the lives of kids and teachers.  Halloween candy, statues and a truly regrettable digression into PILFs (yes, just as you guessed).  23 minutes of pure entertainment.

https://onenationunderfascism.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a-view-to-the-ill.mp3 On the evening of a soggy, medicated Trump speech at Mount Rushmore, Andrew stakes the bold claim that the past week or so has killed the Trump presidency as Trump is buried by a Covid explosion, abandonment by key allies on masks and a #tre45on story that won’t die.  The Russian bounty story draws a fiery response from David and you won’t believe the incredible comparison Andrew makes at the end.  Essential listening for your 4th of July weekend as we celebrate the 157th anniversary of the Union victories at Gettysburg and Vicksburg.

https://onenationunderfascism.files.wordpress.com/2020/06/antibody-testing-and-private-dances-1.mp3 David and Andrew are back to grapple with a rapidly deteriorating Covid situation, a rapidly declining president and a rapidly receding idea of a return to normalcy.  They spar over masks, what it means that Trump can’t get it up any longer (at least in the drawing crowds sense) and weird Trumpian statements about Parkinson’s but come to agreement on the perfect business plan for the Covid era (otherwise known as Making Strip Clubs Great Again).  There is no more entertaining podcast on this great green earth to get you through this year of our discontent.

https://onenationunderfascism.files.wordpress.com/2020/06/swoonramper.mp3 David and Andrew return to talk ramps, water, a president in clear mental and physical decline, why Biden’s health doesn’t matter as much, Covid striking back in the Sunbelt and the merits of podcasting bare-chested.  A fast and furious 16 minutes that you will savor…

https://onenationunderfascism.files.wordpress.com/2020/06/the-antifa-who-loved-me.mp3 David and Andrew bring back everyone’s favorite politics-with-a-side-of-epidemiology-and-a-whole-bunch-of-savage-humor pod, talking about their boy Trumpie’s perilous  political straits and the grim past presidential company he is keeping, David’s Atlanta voting experience and David’s hope to be towards the front of another long line, Covid vaccine recipients, even before the vaccine is wholly proven to be safe.  Listen to this pod and let us know you’ll be in the vaccine line!

https://onenationunderfascism.files.wordpress.com/2020/05/live-and-let-die.mp3 David and Andrew are back with the best party and politics podcast this side of the Ozarks.  While it is recommended never to bury the lede, topics covered include poisoned chalice elections (e.g., 1928, 1976, 2004) and whether 2016 will join the list (not covered:  will 2020 also?), whether enough and the right kind of stimulus was passed (with David and Andrew taking turns proposing very *not late-stage capitalist* ideas of how to do it properly) and David’s potential flight to the suburbs.  But the lede:  DAVID IS CONSIDERING GOING FULL MAGA AND VOTING FOR TRUMP!?!?! (and Andrew is considering trying out new podcast partners, eh?)

https://onenationunderfascism.files.wordpress.com/2020/05/episode-x-the-rise-of-the-scam-vaxxers.mp3 David and Andrew are back with their most provocative podcast yet, as they tackle all of the following questions and more: how much snake oil will be marketed as a Covid killer?  can the snake oil salesmen be stopped when the president himself is the king of the snake oil salesman?  should men and women of sound mind be able to consent to be human guinea pigs in vaccine trials?  is there a better gift to humanity that David can give beyond participating in one of those trials?  and does David have a severe and crippling pizza addiction?  Keep listening to the very end as the recklessness and borderline criminal negligence transition into the further adventures of David and his PPP (and P).
