Shadows in the Metaverse

There are no crystal balls on Ricochet, but we can't keep our eyes off the future. What's to become of the GOP? Hard to say; but our guest David Drucker has written a book and launched his very own podcast to ponder these very questions. Rob and James put him in the interviewee seat for a change get his take on how candidates will have to navigate a climate that's been permanently altered by Donald Trump.

How does the former president affect local and state elections? What should make of the upcoming election in Virginia? (What the heck's up with those tiki-torchers?) And, most importantly, how do the members of the ever-growing crowd of Republican hopefuls get attention while living in Trump's shadow?

You'll have to listen to find out!

Also, Peter pops in to tell us about the Rupert Murdoch birthday celebration he attended, plus Rob and James debate the consequences of Zuckerberg's hopes to take us all to the metaverse.

Music from this week's podcast: Complicated Shadows by Elvis Costello

Hosted by James Lileks, Peter Robinson, and Rob Long, with guest David M. Drucker

    You mean the democrat-staffed tiki-torch photo bomb that the North American Man-Boy Lincoln Project now takes responsibility for?

    The way that story was introduced in zero-hedge was:

    The anti-Trump, pedo-protecting Lincoln Project was forced to issue an emergency press release Friday afternoon after Democratic operatives they paid to impersonate tiki-torch wielding Trump supporters were doxxed, after they stood in front of Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin's campaign bus.

    Much hilarity, including screenshots of suddenly protected accounts follows.
