Part 1! Lydia watched 6 hours of this "not a Nazi" rally to drill down to the highlights (lowlights?) among the speakers, who may very well hold positions in a Trump administration if he's elected. There are hilarious moments, and also quite a lot of really horrible racism and misogyny that we can't allow to be swept under the rug. Please vote.

WTW67: When Nazis Came To NY (Again)

Every single time the right, or even center-left, goes ballistic over a "woke" controversy, the slightest bit of investigation shows the scandal is almost entirely bogus. This is not a new phenomenon; it dates back decades. It's an intentional tool used to protect the powerful and preserve the status quo, while further scapegoating and otherizing those who push for political progress. This podcast digs into not just today's fake scandals, but those of yesterday and yesteryear. The terminology has changed some, but the pattern has not. Listen in as hosts Thomas and Lydia Smith shine a light on the panic, the fragility, the overreaction, and the lying that ignites 'Where There's Woke.'
