Firing Lane: Conserva-tainment: The Triumph of Style Over Substance

In this episode of Firing Lane, Croaky Caiman tackles the rise of "Conserva-tainment," where the conservative movement has shifted from serious political discourse to a Hollywood-like obsession with "owning the libs" through memes, movies, and viral content. Croaky delves into the intellectual costs of this trend, contrasting it with William F. Buckley’s vision of thoughtful debate and principled conservatism. With sharp analysis and a call to return to substance over style, this episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the future of conservative thought and media.
