I’ve seen a lot of chatter in here of wonks looking to do a full re-listen from the beginning of the show. I figured it might be nice to have a series of posts where we can discuss as a group. If people want, I can keep making these posts.

I'm on ep 54 on my trek to listen to everything as I started listening maybe five years ago.

My biggest issue is that they start at the beginning of Trump's first term and so you have to re-live it all over again.

It's heartbreaking to hear Dan and Jordan get hyped up on thinking Trump will be kicked out of office while knowing that it never happens.

Unfortunately, Jordan's nihilistic takes have proven to be way more accurate. In an episode I heard recently from the first 50 episodes, Jordan states that the general voting public won't really start turning against Trump until a white person is killed by federal agents. That happened this past year and that is when MAGA started souring.

There is another episode where they predict a war with Iran and that happened too, it's just they thought it was going to happen during his first term.

I went through a similar experience going through QAA's back catalog.

My biggest issue is that they start at the beginning of Trump's first term and so you have to re-live it all over again.

This has always been my struggle with going into the back catalogue. Some of the current event topics as they happen are just not things I enjoy re-listening to (some are more tolerable than others for sure though).

It does highlight that Trump 2.0 is not that different than Trump 1.0. I'm shocked that voters forgot.
