This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, The Colorado Republican Party elects arguably their least electorally successful member to be their chair, there is a conspiracy theorist chairing the congressional redistricting commission, we discuss whether he believes maps exist, it’s actually infrastructure week for the first time in at least 5 years, we legislate with crayons once again, and we explain to Lauren Boebert who the anti-fascists in 1930’s Germany were fighting.
