Narrative Meltdown In The Harris Campaign | View From The Danube #1

When the Washington Post failed to endorse the Kamala campaign, the reaction was off the scale. Journalists resigned. The rest of the liberal media blew a fuse. But this was only one paper and one guy, Jeff Bezos. What was going on? As Rod Dreher explains, The Washington Post’s non-endorsement was the moment the Harris campaign and their supporters sensed that the deep narrative was finally drifting away from them. So they pulled out the biggest of guns - the F-word… the spectre of midcentury Germany. It feels desperate. The hyperbole is now so big it’s visible from a SpaceX satellite. But does that mean that, after constant lawfare and two assassination attempts, victory is finally in sight for Donald Trump? On the inaugural View From The Danube podcast, the team break down the weirdest election since at least 1912. Maybe since 1876 — or even 1824. *** The View From The Danube is the keystone video podcast of the Danube Institute, a Budapest-based think tank that aims to bring Conservative perspectives from the Anglosphere together, in the heart of the European capital of Conservativism. It stars Rod Dreher, author of The Benedict Option and Living in Wonder, a senior fellow at the Danube Institute, John O’Sullivan, former speechwriter to Margaret Thatcher, the founder and President of the DI, and Calum Nicholson, the Director of Research. This week, they’re joined by Deputy Director Melissa O’Sullivan. With regular guests, we’ll be looking at how Conservatism is changing in a world that is itself changing beyond recognition.
