The eye-opening humiliation of being a young fascist

Joshua Holland kicks off this week's show laying out why he's ultimately bullish on American democracy--if decent people stay engaged.

And then Vice Senior Writer Tess Owen gives us insights from a massive leak of internal texts from the neofascist youth group Patriot Front. It turns out that membership offers routine humiliations and ample opportunities to get fleeced by your leaders.
