Dispatches from a World Gone Mad

"Duke’s outrageous and at times ridiculous experiences in pursuit of the American Dream imply that traditional notions of this popular ideal are antiquated and, for many, limited and even unobtainable, and it is through these experiences that Thompson argues the need for a new understanding of the American Dream."

Join award-winning journalist Greg Schwartz and his attorney, Kevin Dean, for another episode of Dispatches from A World Gone Mad.

This week, the discussion starts with a shout-out to Wallstreebets and the retail stock investors who nearly brought down the economic elite by trying to bring about an epic short squeeze on Gamestop Stock. But the Wallstreet wolves prevailed by taking unprecedented steps to deny the average folk access to the stock market. Were you left holding the bag?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ted Cruz seemed to be on the same page for a moment until AOC told Ted Cruz to resign if he wanted help, rejecting any alliance with a politician who encouraged the Capitol rioters to siege D.C. and try to assassinate her.

But the question remains? What is next? Has the Left succumbed to yet another round of sheepdog tactics with Bernie Sanders wagging the way? Or is the political revolution under way?

Does history serve as an indicator of what's to come, or are we collectively standing on the cusp of a new frontier of equality, collective prosperity, and ecological stewardship?

Greg and Kevin split on whether Bernie Sanders' purpose is to usher the Left into the corporate tent of the Democratic Party or to lead a genuine political revolution.

While it is evident that social movements need to push this country to a new vision for the future of humanity, what are the next concrete steps?

One thing is certain, the whack jobs pushing the right-wing fascists into lunacy don't appear to be going away quietly into the night. Threats to democracy persist without regard for truth or reason. The short term will tell whether there is reason to believe that Democrats can be entrusted to guide the country through these dark and twisted times.

The junior senator from the bluegrass state is not your typical Republican. As the son of retired Texas congressman and former presidential candidate Ron Paul, Rand arrives at the political table as something of a maverick.
