Graham Platner might not be a Nazi—but he’s definitely a poseur. In this episode of Auto Asphyxiation, we cycle through the political fantasy that the “working-class man” will rescue the Democratic Party. Spoiler: He’s never actually working class. We unpack how this archetype is weaponized in media and politics, and why the obsession with blue-collar cosplay obscures real labor struggles and progressive possibilities. Tune in for a ride through class drag, party delusions, and the myth of masculine redemption.
