151: The Republican Road to Hell with Tim Miller

151: The Republican Road to Hell with Tim Miller

Host Reed Galen is joined by The Bulwark’s Tim Miller to discuss the psychological reasoning as to why so many Republicans supported Trump and his administration for as long as they did, how the culture of Washington can so easily warp the reality of those who work inside the beltway, and how all the Ron DeSantis hype is just a result of running Trumpism through the carwash and a dramatic shift in the Overton window. Plus how will the ultra-maga movement influence Donald Trump when he inevitably announces a 2024 presidential run. For more on this be sure to pick up Tim’s brand new New York Times Bestseller, Why We Did It: A Travelogue from the Republican Road to Hell.
