The Professional Left Podcast with Driftglass and Blue Gal Ep 979: Legacy
Episode 979 begins with Project Hail Mary and science fiction nerds auditing movies on street corners, then pivots to Ozymandias and what lasts versus what crumbles to dust. Driftglass and Blue Gal ask why there are hundreds of documentaries about the Roman Empire but not one major film tracing the Republican party's descent into fascism—and answer that question by naming who it would implicate. The episode examines what history will remember about Trump and Bush, what gets footnoted and what defines a legacy, and why the next Democratic administration cannot make Obama's mistake of looking forward instead of backward. It's about burning lifeboats, prosecuting crimes against democracy, and ensuring that 77 million bigots and imbeciles don't slip back into the shadows unpunished after their king's monuments are torn down.
