JD Vance, Project 2025, and How the Right Got Weird
All of a sudden, nearly every Democrat in the country has started calling out Republicans for being really damn weird. And with JD Vance\u2019s pronatalist views and Trump\u2019s insistence that Kamala Harris isn\u2019t actually Black, the GOP isn\u2019t beating the allegations. When did Republican rhetoric go from fear-inducing, to groan-inducing? Jon is joined by Laura K. Field, a researcher and political theorist who recently published a piece in POLITICO on the topic, and who is writing a book about the evolution of the Republican party. She breaks down why GOP weirdness is tied to the emergence of the \u201cNew Right,\u201d how JD Vance exemplifies this moment, and how to prevent the movement from capturing more power in American politics.
