New episode of Autocratic Despair is up.

We open on the important news: the President's hair has staged a dramatic comeback, the internet spent a week arguing about whether it's a wig, and the White House won't say. And if it is a wig, the baffling part is that it's a wig of his own hairstyle — he had access to any hair on earth and chose to recreate the exact hair he was losing.

From there we get into Tucker Carlson's new manifesto — ten things he says America should be. And here's the uncomfortable part: most of them sound good. Fair. Honest. Healthy. Wise. Nick admits that if almost anyone else had written the list, he'd be on board. Which is exactly the point. Dr. Craig walks through the ten one at a time and shows what's quietly bolted underneath the reasonable-sounding words — and why this particular blend of left-sounding grievance and old fascist material has a name. It's a two-parter; we only got halfway, and we're finishing it next week.

A comedy podcast about surviving American authoritarianism that is, against all odds, fun.
