QANON AND THE REAGAN HOMELESS Jun 09, 2021

Show notes

Angelo Carusone from Media Matters joins Thom to share what he's learned tracking qAnon- how has the group metastasized since Q himself stopped posting?

And then- Reaganism resulted in record numbers of people living on the streets of America. And at the same time, new data shows that the very rich are setting their own records for how little tax they are paying. Could taxing the morbidly wealthy be used to care for the most vulnerable among us?

Or will the right succeed in using race-baiting and shady tactics to maintain control over the nation?
