Insane clown president

Matt Taibbi offers a prescient look at the 2016 presidential election, dissecting the forces that shaped one of the most unusual political contests in American history. He explores the rise of spectacle over substance, the fragmentation of shared reality, and the emergence of new forms of nationalism. Taibbi provides a real-time analysis of the failures across the political spectrum, from the campaigns of Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton to the ascendance of Donald Trump and the alt-right, all while critiquing the media's role in the unfolding drama.
