Long, but good. Both the interviewer, James Poulos, and the guy he interviewed, Michael Rectenwald, were very interesting, very learned and the session was kept at a very fast pace, covered lots of ground, lots of topics, lots of perspectives. Early on MR stated that Hilldawg calling good people a “basket of deplorables” was what turned him from a marxist (who seemed to be already getting disillusioned with the left by this point, imo) to a Trump supporter. I have a cousin who was a democrat and also turned her back on the left, voted for Trump in 2016 because she couldn’t stomach Hilldawg.
It’s worth the time if you have the time and MR touches on a concept I’m a big fan of, namely disengagement (not sure if he used that particular term or not) from the statists/totalitarians as a path forward. Not just disengaging from them, but forming a parallel society.

Thank you for the link, OP.
