Today it seems meaningless to Republicans who don't mind supporting a self confessed fan of Hitler. Marion McKeone examines the latest developments form the campaign trail including Tucker Carlson's spanking fantasy, Elon Musk's election interference, threats against Jack Smith and the political scientist Matt McWilliams who predicted America's gravitational pull towards an authoritarian leader back in 2015.   To get the full conversation and a heap of bonus content visit www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad or come see Jarlath on tour www.jigser.com/gigs   Email the show irishmanabroadpodcast@gmail.com
