It’s been a great week for TheRemnant. Jon Rauch gave us a rundown on the formation of Goldbergism while Sam Harris broke runtime records, so consider today’s Ruminant the cherry on top. Jonah runs through some of his greatest hits, reminding listeners that Trump plays a much bigger part in the proliferation of wokeness than his grifter army cares to admit, negating the idea of stochastic terrorism once again, and bemoaning the culture wars’ capture of the presidency. No Ruminant would be complete without disdain for Woodrow Wilson and instances of volksgemeinschaft, allowing Jonah to blame to current state of American politics on pesky play-pretend revolutionary predecessors. Plus: the case for the return of bourgeois values and the firm re-assertion that there is no such thing as a presidential mandate.
