Definitely not normalizing this Trumping of America.

Very interesting take on the effect of fake news on the election.

All in all, a very interesting podcast ~

It's an interesting breakdown by Andrew Marantz of The New Yorker of the four types that have been given this shorthand 'alt right', who've ushered Trump into the White House.

Marantz breaks them out as:
The white supremacist
the pure hard core troll who trolls for reactions sake
the misogynist-gamer-gate type, the never-a-woman crowd
and the conspiracy theorist, the Alex Jones followers


This is his original article which his interview on the podcast summarizes.
