It’s a tough listen, but I can’t recommend this enough.
22 years ago, American history changed course. In the first season of LONG SHADOW, @vermontgmg examined 9/11's legacy and explored the enduring mysteries of that catastrophic day. Listen to all 8 episodes: buff.ly/45MzHTB

This bracing podcast, Long Shadow, traces the violent history of the American far right. Excellent work. apple.co/3NW8Qy2
"The radical right has absolutely penetrated and, in some ways, swamped the political mainstream," @MarkPotok told @vermontgmg in the final episode of LONG SHADOW. How did we get here? Stream the whole season. 🎧: buff.ly/3xJTSCy

anyone who doesn't understand that "law and order" for the GOP has for 50 years meant "white supremacy" doesn't understand where the "southern strategy" comes from. it's never been about "law and order," it's always been about race. And it is with Trump today.
This is a spectacularly misleading portrayal of what Republicans’ identity has really been. That half a century contains the aftermath of Watergate, Iran Contra, GHWB’s pardons, the reintroduction of torture by executive memo, Hastert, family separation, January 6th…

It’s critical to understand the context and bigger picture behind the Oath Keepers. They are a key link in a 40–year story of the far right and white supremacy moving to the mainstream of the GOP.
Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes was sentenced to 18 years in prison on charges of seditious conspiracy for his role in Jan. 6. But what happened that day was decades in the making. Hear the full story of how he rose to prominence in LONG SHADOW: 🎧: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Get caught up: The Long Shadow pod! @LongLead As @vermontgmg explains, the extremist forces who attacked the Capitol on 1/6 had gelled even earlier—at COVID protests. Here, Alex Jones, the Proud Boys, & Tim McVeigh’s ghost converge in 2020. Listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

@vermontgmg has produced an exceptional series. I commend it highly to anyone who wants to understand the fight we’re in, how far back this story begins, and what we can do about it.
As @vermontgmg notes in LONG SHADOW, the American far right didn't materialize overnight. It's existed for decades. In this powerful episode, Graff redefines the Trump presidency and shows the immediate impact of the former president's rhetoric. 🎧: buff.ly/3IkfPO4

Long Shadow: Rise of the American Far Right by @vermontgmg has been great. The previous season was about 9/11 and was equally great play.pocketcasts.com/podcast…

It's amazing to revisit these critical moments in the formation of the modern Radical Right movement that I wasn't paying enough attention to during my youth. A horrible/great story of Waco, Ruby Ridge, Oklahoma City, and the other origins of our current dysfunction.
Seditionist Stewart Rhodes and the Oath Keepers were key players at extremist events like the Unite the Right rally and the January 6th insurrection. As @vermontgmg explains in LONG SHADOW, the militia rose to prominence by staring down federal agents in armed standoffs.  Listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

If you haven't started listening to LONG SHADOW, you're missing some incredibly vital history and context to today's news, from Fox News and Tucker Carlson to the Proud Boys....
Yesterday, leaders of the Proud Boys were convicted of seditious conspiracy for their role in January 6. What made them so dangerous was their boldness, @AndyBCampbell tells @vermontgmg in this preview of an upcoming LONG SHADOW episode. Catch up here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
