Does Trump Not Know That Hitler’s Generals Tried to Kill Him? Oct 25, 2024

Show notes

The New Abnormal’s Danielle Moodie and Andy Levy are baffled.

So why are so many Americans still intent on voting for him? Also on the pod this week: Geoffrey Fowler, a Washington Post journalist, who talks about Meta’s covert operation to shadowban political content. Plus! Denny Carter, the founder of the Bad Faith Times, who has an astute comparison to draw between an NFL quarterback and this year’s presidential election.
