Francesca Hong's Hateful Holidays, Burrito Prices, and Woke 1.0
Robby Soave and Christian Britschgi cover all of the politically charged food takes of the week from Thanksgiving to burritos.
Robby Soave and Christian Britschgi survey the latest fights inside American politics and culture, from Francesca Hong's war on holidays to the Midwest's emergence as a hub for democratic socialism. They argue that the war on "woke" has largely been won, while figures like Hasan Piker and Tucker Carlson continue attempting to scramble the political landscape. The episode also detours into burrito discourse, young men's grievances, race relations in Western civilization, and the ethics of euthanasia. Finally, Christian offers his thoughts on The Staircase.
