RadixJournal - The ＂Rigged＂ Delusion

00:00:00.000 all right hello everyone we are doing an impromptu podcast on the state of things

00:00:18.660 um tyler hamilton mark brahma and myself hanging out we wanted to talk a little bit about the news

00:00:27.660 of the day i think we're all being we're all kind of abstracting ourselves from a lot of the trump

00:00:33.020 happenings but i thought it was worth talking about so let me throw out some news items and

00:00:40.500 i i kind of want to get at something deeper which is a inner dynamic of the right that i've noticed

00:00:47.700 for some time but i'll just throw out some news items to get the conversation chaser started

00:00:52.460 um so uh nick fuentes um what can i say the guy has put himself into a position that he is a public

00:01:06.020 figure and he's maybe in an indelible one at that um i have not been following him intensely but every

00:01:15.540 time i'll you know go in my twitter feed there'll be a an image of him riding around on a hummer with

00:01:23.000 alex jones and giving speeches and a microphone talking to a bunch of in a way like you know

00:01:29.180 normie conservatives i guess an outlook but but certainly not normies in terms of political

00:01:33.940 engagement uh doing a good job um in what he is attempting to accomplish and i i think he's

00:01:42.680 probably here to stay i mean i'm not sure i would have said that a couple years ago but he is

00:01:48.000 uh making a name for himself and he's certainly latched on to this this thing which is the rigged

00:01:55.040 narrative and the recount and the rhinos betraying trump uh and so on um what's recently just happening

00:02:03.500 is um uh what is her name sydney powell is that her name sydney yes so a woman i had never 0.99

00:02:12.660 heard of previously although she was the legal representative of general michael flynn uh she

00:02:18.860 has been in these circles for a long time she has been making increasingly bold claims um of voter

00:02:26.160 interference these are you know these voting machines were developed in venezuela and they're

00:02:31.700 you know here changing votes and all of the swing states are frauds and all this kind of stuff

00:02:37.420 she was endorsed by the gop itself three days ago um she is not backing up this stuff with any

00:02:44.560 anything that would resemble evidence in a court she is making bold claims of like this has chinese

00:02:52.060 communist parts and it was developed the software is developed in venezuela even if that is true that

00:02:57.440 proves literally nothing and she's not being able to back it up she was pushed back on by tucker carlson

00:03:05.220 um yesterday the day before and the right freaked out all of these former tucker fans decided that he

00:03:13.280 was he had cucked he was betraying trump why is it what happened who's gotten to him and now trump

00:03:21.380 himself has thrown her under the bus distanced himself he said he's she's not his lawyer operating

00:03:27.460 on his behalf despite the fact that she was giving a press conference with his own personal lawyer

00:03:33.380 in front of trump 2020 paraphernalia speaking for the president let's be honest so he is clearly

00:03:41.200 distinct to himself this might mean a concession is imminent i don't know um i it's hard to predict trump

00:03:47.760 uh but i what i've noticed is a couple of things worth pointing out is first off the these there's

00:03:58.600 let me get the big ideas out here so first off there's an inner dynamic to the republican party

00:04:05.780 where you have nick fuentes and company sounding like wignats in a way uh going out there with the

00:04:13.780 megaphone saying we will destroy the republican party this is what it's about this isn't even about

00:04:19.620 the democrats anymore it's about the gop and they're weak and betrayal they are saying things that

00:04:25.120 at least resemble things that the their hated wignats might say of you know not getting along

00:04:33.220 not going with the flow but instead you know opposing the conservatives uh now they are doing

00:04:39.020 it now they're obviously doing it in a different way they're doing it on behalf of trump as opposed

00:04:43.240 to opposing it to trump um they aren't actually attacking the leader of the republican party or the

00:04:49.860 president of the united states they're attacking a kind of vaguely defined cuck rhino uh in the party

00:04:56.440 and i think that's been a long-term inner dynamic um the other aspect of this that's kind of

00:05:02.620 fascinating psychologically speaking is that these people will change their mind on a daily basis and

00:05:12.240 blissfully forget their position from a couple days ago so you know i was again i i've we've been

00:05:19.700 doing other stuff today i haven't really been engaged but just scanning twitter you'll see

00:05:23.900 these people you know saying well it's good that trump got rid of sydney powell because she was

00:05:29.000 making us all look bad and no one believed her bold claims but you know voter fraud is a real thing and

00:05:36.020 trump still won the election this is not what they were saying two days ago when she had her press

00:05:40.600 conference that was a total disaster they were backing her up the gop was backing her up i didn't hear any

00:05:46.280 mention of the fact that her claims are unsubstantiated and absurd uh they're now saying

00:05:52.860 this because trump said it says that and there's this way in which they're always spinning and always

00:05:58.620 kind of changing their line and they'll probably now be back on the tucker fan plantation because

00:06:06.940 tucker was right he he wants to help trump and he pushed sydney powell out earlier and so on so it's it's

00:06:13.500 just this you know mercurial flowing contradictory mindset um that is the stuff of cults and not

00:06:25.840 serious people let's be honest here um but so we could talk about that i i also wanted to talk about

00:06:32.520 this kind of dynamic inner dynamic of within conservatism of opposing the rhinos which is 0.52

00:06:39.700 not anything new and which granted this is being sounded with really bold you know notes and

00:06:48.140 declarations and denunciations it's much bolder than i've seen in the past but it's actually a really

00:06:54.780 consistent internal dynamic of conservatism do you guys want to pick up on anything or should i keep

00:07:01.980 going well i mean just to pick up off of that where you're going with it right away like one thing i find

00:07:07.760 particularly interesting within the history of conservative party and the right in america in

00:07:12.080 general it's just the way in which there always seems to be a missing perpetrator in all of this

00:07:19.940 as that's always it's never the real conservatives right so it's yeah we are on the side of real

00:07:25.720 conservatives so when you look at this crowd the american first crowd and the like that have been

00:07:30.120 gathering the past few days is they seem to be saying things like the gop has given up on trump so

00:07:35.200 we're going to give up on the gop right so this is very different than what a lot of us have been

00:07:40.080 saying for the last two to three years even though in rhetoric it might sound like what we were

00:07:43.800 saying there what we were saying was that we can't trust the gop establishment whatsoever because

00:07:48.860 this same dynamic keeps playing over and over again we can't trust trump i don't know exactly well

00:07:54.000 he would be a part of that in our view right leader of the party and so then you end up in this

00:07:57.940 situation where we are saying that this is something that has played itself out in the american

00:08:03.400 right for decades and it continues to do this yeah it plays this role where the populace imagine

00:08:09.560 themselves as some community that's standing with a true conservative rebelling against the old rhino

00:08:16.120 but what's actually happening is that that is very much just a part of the way it functions yeah so it's

00:08:21.920 like if you take a look at the reaction of conservatives and some of them being like tucker and the like and

00:08:28.980 others who have simply seem to jump ship from trump or have the foresight to know that these aren't

00:08:34.460 serious directions to take these great allegations of voter fraud which are very unfulfilled right and

00:08:41.600 they seem to have the foresight to jump ship on that and they're saying no we're going to take over

00:08:45.720 we're going to be the serious republicans so you end up with this intra republican conflict going on and

00:08:52.660 the populace they seem to be we're on the side of the real conservatives right trump is really on their

00:08:58.260 side but they are upon for one step within the republican party against another and so it seems

00:09:04.840 to me that in playing this game that they believe themselves to be critical that they see the power

00:09:10.140 game of what it really is they're actually the biggest dooms of one mere player in that game in this

00:09:15.820 case trump who as you said is a leader of the party yeah he is complacent he is a part of all of this

00:09:21.620 and quite frankly he is the one they should be directing their hatred against and protest against

00:09:28.360 he is the one failing them he's the one with as a leader with the responsibility and he's not acting

00:09:33.720 as a sovereign and really that's what it all boils down to is the american right is always looking for

00:09:40.140 some great betrayer within an otherwise good party or good system that we can restore and instead of

00:09:47.420 looking to the fact that there's a sickness already within it and it's a part of how it functions

00:09:51.760 yes it's not a problem of fixing of the corruption but it's rather rethinking our support of that system

00:09:57.760 itself right i mean i i think a lot of the dynamic was you know what is the phrase if only the pope knew

00:10:04.800 about the treachery of his bishops or something right is that is that the right cliche i mean it's it's this

00:10:11.060 notion that you know you have the leader of the catholic church but he's apparently not in control

00:10:15.960 of you know he's not an autocrat in control of a major institution he doesn't know what's going on

00:10:21.300 it's it's this way of kind of defending the emperor against his empire and it's it's a it's a weird move

00:10:26.940 but again it's actually not a new one and i can remember attending cpacs uh 10 years ago when

00:10:37.200 mitt romney was winning the nomination of the primaries i guess this was spring of 2008 and there

00:10:44.020 was there were these revolts against you know mccain who worked with the liberals and was going to

00:10:50.000 betray us and wasn't good on immigration and all this kind of stuff then the tea party was really

00:10:54.680 about this to a large extent it was about new tea party activists coming to the floor you know we

00:11:00.480 need rand paul in there we need nikki haley we need george uh it was pompeo we need all these

00:11:05.840 you know kind of creatures ted cruz was another one although i think he won in 2012 we need all

00:11:11.260 these kind of new people to um come in and restore conservatism and then and paul ryan is an interesting

00:11:18.100 one because he was a tea party hero who then got the ire uh of the party so it's just this long-term

00:11:24.880 internal dynamic which you can only you know you could say it's caducean in that sense and you can

00:11:31.700 only see it as actually building stability within the party i mean i agree that their declarations

00:11:39.080 are bolder than i've heard recently and certainly bolder than what they were saying you know two

00:11:44.820 weeks ago but it's it's actually not something new and you know i've often thought about that

00:11:50.820 comparison between rhino and and cock and who was the rhino like rhino means republican in name only so

00:11:59.800 you're not a real republican you're you're a squish or whatever um well a lot of those people 0.99

00:12:06.280 you know including michelle malkin including other people they're saying that about trump in fact that

00:12:12.980 he was a liberal uh which he was to a large extent he wasn't a true conservative and they were reacting

00:12:20.420 against this kind of takeover of the party i think if cock had any kind of real resonance or traction

00:12:29.280 in 2015 and 2016 it was directed at these true conservatives it was basically saying

00:12:36.240 listen buddy we're not going to worry about the fact that he doesn't want to lower taxes

00:12:42.880 and he wants to have a steel um industrial policy and that's violating free market principles you know 0.96

00:12:50.980 we're going to save western civilization whether you like it or not and you're just a cock who's going 0.98

00:12:55.780 to roll over and not fight the big fight and i think the cock really had very strong resonance 0.98

00:13:03.780 i i think now whenever i hear it i just you know roll my eyes um but even that i think was was also

00:13:10.240 kind of part of that internal dynamic within the right that where you're you're you're constantly you

00:13:16.680 you keep wanting churn among conservatism you keep wanting a new harder core trumpian person and that

00:13:23.680 and that includes getting rid of people who you thought were hard to curl like kemp and georgia

00:13:28.300 and others just a couple days ago or tucker is now not hardcore enough you keep wanting that more of the

00:13:35.780 real thing you you know we need to get you know we you know we need ted cruz but even more ted cruz

00:13:41.740 as opposed to rethinking things and deciding that you want something actually you actually want something

00:13:48.520 different or you want to understand something in a different way um i think there's a tremendous

00:13:54.540 amount of delusion uh involved with the rigged narrative now look were there are there some

00:14:05.380 irregularities in an election well when 150 million people vote i imagine that there are going to be some

00:14:12.300 problems along the way that's just in endemic to this system um do they really know what they're

00:14:20.360 talking about when they say this is this election is a clearly fraud no they don't know what they're

00:14:25.860 talking about at all and they have no insight into this they just are guessing and saying this without

00:14:33.520 real evidence their evidence is that trump was ahead on the day before they can you know before they

00:14:38.960 counted mail-in ballots or everyone loves trump or his rallies were big that's their evidence there's

00:14:44.280 i have not seen anything compelling beyond that um and i think there's this kind of delusion of the

00:14:52.480 rigged narrative where you don't want to actually look at why trump lost and why trump lost is a

00:14:59.760 complicated phenomenon why he lost um there are major demographic reasons why it's becoming more and

00:15:08.460 more difficult for republican to win due to the changing uh demography that's true uh trump is

00:15:15.440 also losing because he's losing the white vote he won less of the white vote in 2016 than mitt romney

00:15:22.020 did he won even less of it in 2020 um there there is a significant drop off of these former obama voters

00:15:30.500 the five percent these former obama voters in the midwest who voted for obama once or twice and

00:15:37.140 voted for trump because they were taking a flyer on him they hated hillary they thought he stood for

00:15:41.680 them and their their industrial jobs and so on um you need to really there's also a reason why he lost

00:15:48.860 because he is just a an unbearable person who is utterly chaotic and doesn't actually accomplish

00:15:57.700 anything through all of these endless fights that he gets into i think there's just an exhaustion

00:16:03.540 that takes place among average voters that they want to not think about their president every day

00:16:10.520 they want to just live their life and not have this endless scandal machine in the white house now

00:16:16.660 that's not entirely his fault but it is his fault uh to a great degree um these are there are clear

00:16:24.520 there are there are a number of reasons and it's complicated it's a complicated story but there actually

00:16:29.160 are reasons why he lost this election and if you want to just tell yourself that this is all rigged

00:16:35.880 and the liberals did this and they're evil and venezuela venezuelan programmers you know made michigan flip

00:16:44.360 or whatever like you can tell yourself that story but all that means is that you're never going to

00:16:49.140 examine reality you're never going to examine the problems of conservatism you're never going to examine

00:16:53.420 the problems of the gop you're never going to examine the problems of the two-party system

00:16:56.520 you're never going to really think about doing something bigger in the future if you keep telling

00:17:02.680 yourself this rigged narrative and i i think that's the fundamental problem i mean with a rigged

00:17:08.680 narrative the gop and maga and trump and trump himself they can tell themselves this you know

00:17:16.440 ridiculous story but one that they believe which is that he didn't actually lose that everything he did

00:17:22.280 was right that his response to coronavirus was perfect and everyone loved it he's your favorite

00:17:28.360 president as he says rallies and they can just keep telling themselves and never really face reality

00:17:34.760 the reality of the situation their own failings of their own problems of the bigger problems within

00:17:40.600 the system uh and so i i would say you know even if the rigged narrative has a kernel of truth to it

00:17:48.600 and i'm dubious about that but even if it has a kernel of truth it's still a false narrative because it

00:17:56.360 leads you to believe bigger untruths about yourself and your role in the gop and the gop's role in the

00:18:07.240 american system yeah no i mean i think the problem is that uh democracy as a phenomena is rigged it's just a

00:18:17.480 democracy is always rigged right uh nietzsche has this um uh he he makes this uh remark that every

00:18:25.080 civilization is effective effectively an oligarchy right so whether that's a monarchy or it's a

00:18:31.640 a civilization that calls itself a republic or a democracy they're all ultimately oligarchies right

00:18:37.960 so wealth and an elite actually control the society in every instance so we we lived in a rigged system

00:18:46.120 regardless but if you look you know if you look on the if you look closer if you look at the details

00:18:52.200 like how could trump have won i mean we know that trump is not really about a valuable president for

00:18:57.640 us anyways because he's he's betrayed us he hasn't uh fulfilled his promises so we know that he's actually

00:19:03.400 not our ally anyways and in a lot of ways trump is uh is uh more dangerous to us in a lot of ways in

00:19:11.000 the way that the gp uh gop was before trump came and trump effectively was assimilated by the gop he

00:19:18.760 he ended up being something that was not uh terribly distinct from the gop because he kind of adopted to

00:19:25.240 it and so i but he is a more dangerous uh precedent for us because uh whites believe that just by looking

00:19:36.200 at the guy just because of some of his rhetoric and some of his race baiting they think that the

00:19:40.680 guy is actually working for their interests but the reality of it is that he's not working for our

00:19:46.120 interests and he hasn't been his whole presidency um so he becomes more dangerous in that regard

00:19:52.280 whereas someone like biden and biden actually ends up being a very intelligent decision uh for the

00:19:58.840 democrats he ends up uh sort of mollifying uh the situation as it were whereas obama was a you know

00:20:06.680 an obama now would be very dangerous uh for the left right so in other words if obama was the president

00:20:14.120 we had now uh that would activate the right in a because i mean that's really just by his physical

00:20:20.920 presence yeah yeah yeah because we're because obama in office actually wasn't that radical i mean not

00:20:26.200 saying he was great or anything but it's not like he you know came in and forced intermarriage on

00:20:34.520 anyone or something like that he was a vaguely conservative president in office but just the

00:20:40.920 presence itself activated something like the fact that the tea party just emerged like organically in 2008

00:20:49.720 and 2009 due to his election is remarkable and i think the liberals are always correct when they're like

00:20:55.960 this is ultimately about race guys you know like they talk about the constitution and tax cuts

00:21:02.040 but like this is about a black president i think the liberals were right about that yeah no i think

00:21:06.520 that they are absolutely in a lot of ways they're more sober on the race question as it were

00:21:11.880 are they're just more sober on the race question the difference there is perspective right so

00:21:17.080 the kind of subtext or the understanding from the left is that you know that uh the white man basically

00:21:22.440 has to lose this racial struggle or that's the assumption from the left but they speak in a kind

00:21:28.440 of clearer way about race um because that premise is essentially kind of accepted in our society on

00:21:34.520 some level right so we understand that um uh that whites have to kind of see their dominant position to

00:21:43.400 non-whites that's sort of the kind of moral narrative of our society and the left has that moral narrative 0.70

00:21:50.520 whereas the right doesn't really have a moral narrative because the problem with the right

00:21:55.320 is that it can't identify itself to the extent that it's the white party right so and that's why we'll

00:22:00.680 continue to have these um ultimately fruitless um uh sort of cycles uh you know yeah i mean it's

00:22:08.760 you could argue that things are getting more radical and more polarized and i think that's certainly the

00:22:13.160 case but so long as like you know so long as the the real agenda or the real interest can not speak

00:22:19.720 its name we'll never make real progress i mean we have to be explicit on this racial topic and i don't

00:22:26.280 think that doesn't mean that we have to be um uh you know scary or vulgar or uncivilized or barbaric

00:22:34.200 but it means that we have to start speaking in a clear manner uh and support candidates at some

00:22:40.360 point this just has to happen support candidates candidates that are explicitly um talking uh in

00:22:47.320 the interests of whites that are talking about uh white interests and and advancing white interests

00:22:52.920 i mean this so this is all going to be this kind of like both parties are ultimately going to be these

00:22:58.760 kind of mystery religions as it were where they can't actually talk about what's going on and again

00:23:04.120 the left can kind of talk about in a more explicit way to the right can't talk about it it's not about

00:23:09.080 race where you know they're equally supportive of transgender people and homosexuals now at this

00:23:14.920 point i mean that's what it's come to where um you know it's it's about you know so basically

00:23:22.760 we're back into a corner where we just basically have to tell the truth at some point and

00:23:29.640 we anyway yeah well i think you said something when maybe over dinner or something and it's it's almost

00:23:36.360 like everyone's talking around the race issue and in various using various metaphors and you know

00:23:47.960 and pronouncements and so on but no one can you know it's it's all about like how are you going to

00:23:53.880 talk your way around this this issue and that's really what the two parties do and so the the the

00:24:02.360 liberals have you know on one part of them wants to be truly antagonistic and domineering about this

00:24:11.720 and that is a a certain kind of you know antifa element uh a blm in most of its moods not all

00:24:20.360 sometimes it's softer but in a lot of its moods it's a it's a hardcore we're taking back the streets this

00:24:26.840 is about us this is about moralizing us and demoralizing you uh and so on but then you have

00:24:32.840 the kind of joe biden you know hokey smiley face version of this same thing which is like well you

00:24:41.320 know things are things are going tough right now and things are got to change but you know we're going

00:24:45.640 to do this together because we're all americans we're going to lower the temperature a little bit

00:24:49.880 as a line that he would you know refrain and i he would use his refrain and i do think that he was

00:24:54.760 brilliant i mean the choice of joe biden it's not something that i quite expected and i think

00:24:59.160 it was a brilliant choice and it was maybe their only choice in this kind of hyper polarized time

00:25:03.800 and we're going back to someone putting aside kamala harris as vice president who's an ambiguous

00:25:09.640 figure herself but we are going back in time to like maybe george w bush but not even george w bush

00:25:17.960 i mean i think we're going back a number of decades in terms of what this president represents for the

00:25:25.880 american people joe biden is from the 80s he's from the cold war he's from a time when the voting

00:25:33.400 population was 90 white he's from a different era and we're kind of going back to that in that aesthetic

00:25:40.920 now in order to you know allow for this transition to happen more smoothly and it's a kind of brilliant

00:25:50.040 move on their part but again even the hardest core hardest core of the gop is all it is at the same

00:25:59.320 time kind of just still talking around this issue and never really addressing it and and always kind

00:26:05.480 of addressing it in some abstract way that doesn't even necessarily support it so i i think all of

00:26:11.160 this obsession with like voter fraud or something it reminds me of the conservatives talking about

00:26:18.760 like religious freedom or something so it's like we're not going to say outright that we want a

00:26:24.840 christian society we're instead going to say that we want religious freedom for everyone and so religion

00:26:31.080 becomes this like thing you believe in the private sphere and it's not actually a dominant force in

00:26:37.160 society it doesn't inform political how we make decisions but you just you just have the right to be

00:26:42.760 a buddhist or a catholic or a jew or a muslim in the privacy of your home they they just talk around 0.91

00:26:50.680 this issue well the source of their angst is always the fact that they feel like they're living in

00:26:55.960 increasingly de-christianized society that's the source of their ranks they can't really address

00:27:01.480 it they can't address the real and you see this again with the delusion of a rigged election where

00:27:08.360 it's like let's not talk about the demographic reality which really affected this let's not talk about

00:27:14.840 trump's problems with white people in fact why he can't win let's not talk about the fact that he either had

00:27:23.480 no policy vision was a total failure or is a just you know figurehead up in there who can't accomplish

00:27:31.480 anything as president let's not actually address these really serious issues that are worth discussing

00:27:38.120 and and and dissecting and examining and and that can actually change the way we do things can like put

00:27:44.440 us on a new path let's instead claim that we in fact won this election and that we don't have to change

00:27:52.360 anything trump was great we just need more of it that's what it means when they're saying we want

00:27:57.800 a hardcore conservative it's like let's become more delusional let's become more retarded about this issue 0.94

00:28:04.120 that is all that they are saying by saying there was voter fraud uh so i you know again um i and none

00:28:12.040 of these people are seriously concerned about voter fraud i don't know of a single person who mentioned the

00:28:17.720 the possibility of voting machines and so on being bad two weeks ago this is something that came up

00:28:24.520 it's a that came up after the election and that is in entirely a way of justifying this just continued

00:28:34.440 dream world that conservatives want to exist in you know i i think that there's an inability or rather

00:28:42.520 of want or desire to grasp reality in this case or the truth of the situation they're in yeah in

00:28:48.520 really ways it's actually like a sexual fetish and we talked about this a lot we did the ebl shows on

00:28:55.640 the con and psychoanalysis and sexual fetishes right and we talked about how for example the rape fantasies

00:29:02.200 what breaks them down is the actual rape occurring because it's you fantasize something because it protects

00:29:07.560 you from the traumatic real of something yeah it turns it into an object of desire basically by

00:29:12.920 shielding you from the trauma of the real and there seems to be a very similar dynamic at play here

00:29:18.200 because one thing i was thinking about is is if these conservatives the populist conservatives or the

00:29:23.640 average working conservative actually got what they wanted this true conservative that would completely

00:29:29.640 mentally destroy them and their sense of reality because think about it really they've already they've

00:29:35.800 always had it that is simply what it is right and so we i've made this point a few times about like

00:29:42.760 the classical american conspiracy techno thriller those kinds of spy novels and geopolitical novels

00:29:49.160 where like some analyst in the cia discovers some corrupt plot within the bureau or something and then it

00:29:57.240 goes all the way to the president and then he solves this case and then he they get rid of the bad

00:30:02.360 apples and then all of a sudden the greatness of the system is restored yeah right so the phantasmic

00:30:07.640 appeal of the system the kind of fantasy of it is maintained by just removing these corrupt

00:30:12.440 actors that are somehow disturbing that fantasy right and this is what's interesting to me

00:30:19.560 is in the same way this is really a dynamic that's at play with the american right and all of its history

00:30:25.640 it's i see this recurring pattern that if they actually recognize that the conservatism that they

00:30:32.600 want the conservatism that they're pining for in america the actual traumatic seed the kernel the real

00:30:39.320 of what it is is actually what they're saying is the corrupt thing right and so they have this fantasy of

00:30:45.480 there's always another explanation for why their preferred leader can't get something done there's always

00:30:51.560 another explanation right and it creates this fantasy but what that fantasy of corruption is actually

00:30:57.160 doing is protecting them from the reality of the fact that the conservatism in america was built on

00:31:03.720 a foundation that is utterly at odds and eroding of that christian society that they desperately believed

00:31:11.640 in right they never want to recognize that very much in the founding of america and american liberalism

00:31:17.960 is as you were saying richard this privatized interior removal of essentially aspects of your

00:31:25.800 being that make who you are and making it something interior and having some separate market world and

00:31:31.720 some physical conservative world that is the traumatic reality of conservatism and that's why these stories

00:31:37.560 appear because it's the fantasy of corruption is what's protecting them from recognizing that they are living

00:31:43.960 and have always lived in a corrupt society that did not act accurately live up to what they thought in their

00:31:51.800 head it should have been yeah
