So You're Living in an Oligarchic Kleptocracy (feat. Tom Pepinsky)

  • 0 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast…as the Trump regime enters its first week and begins to lay the groundwork for the worst shit imaginable, Colorado’s Democratic leaders ready themselves for the fight while Colorado’s Republicans write letters of support. We check in with our 7th (Gabe Evans) and 8th (Lauren Boebert) favorite members of Congress from Colorado…who are quickly getting tied for 8th place. Also, our 100th favorite Colorado State Legislator does something predictably insane.

But first, he studies oligarchies, kleptocracies, and other malformed governments, and he’s here to help us wrap our heads around what the next four years could be like in the United States as the tech oligarchy and the federal government collapse into one supervillianesque entity. Professor Thomas Pepinsky from Cornell joins us to talk about the greatest grift of all time happening right in front of our eyes.
