The Three Whisky Happy Hour: Getting a Grip on Groypers
While it was sorely tempting to devote the entire show to celebrating the return of Sydney Sweeney to the public eye last week, we decided to turn our attention to the serious matter of antisemitism on the right, and just what the heck “groypers” (groyperism??) is all about. Rod Dreher passed along estimates that up to 40 percent of young conservatives in Washington are closet Nick Fuentes fans or groyper-adjacent, though this estimate has received strong challenges. We review a few of the counter-arguments that seem to be left unsaid at the moment.
Then we turn to a brief recap and critique from Lucretia on our brief segment last week with Akhil Amar about his new book Born Equal. We didn’t have time to get very far with the subject, but the amazing thing is that Lucretia and John were together on their end of this episode, and Lucretia didn’t hit John once (though she may have spiked his whisky).
Oh, and we did have time to talk briefly about Helen Andrews’s legs. You’ll just have to listen to find out what this means in this compact, ad-free episode.
