At one point, in the minds of its writers and supporters, perhaps The Bulwark really was about providing a “bulwark” for “conserving conservatism” in opposition to the right-populism of once and future President Donald Trump. But as our colleague Ken Braun recounts in his series on the evolution of the publication, The Bulwark has become little more than just another outlet regurgitating Democratic Party talking points. Ken joins us to discuss the past, present, and future of The Bulwark.

Listen to “Ep. 365: Bulwark Backstory” on Spreaker.
