We trace the etymology from carnival cons through Lee Atwater's 1981 interview explaining the Southern Strategy, through the meme armor of modern political communication, to the bodies left behind when the work becomes indistinguishable from the shoot.

Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of deaths in ICE custody, police violence, and the killing of unarmed civilians. Audio from the body camera footage of Elijah McClain's death is featured. Listener discretion is advised.
