The free world is under assault by unhinged, power-mad billionaires, and we could use a powerful beacon of justice who’s also a crusading journalist. My friend Michael Mora joins me to continue my ongoing discussion about Superman, the progressive champion who happens to come from another planet.You will hear:Is Superman the ultimate story of immigration fraud?How much of Superman’s origin story (literal alien from a dying world vs. being raised to be a good person by good people) makes a difference to who he becomes as a hero?Luthor the “benevolent billionaire” to the masses vs. Luthor who despises Superman for some reason (depending on storyline) and how that relates to our own storyline with a supposed billionaire in office and the damage being done to the American people, as well as around the worldIs Pa Kent actually conservative or is the very ideal of protecting the weak a liberal value?How much of Superman’s acceptance by most is because he is white passing? Would that be different if he had a different skin color or appeared more “other” than the typical Kansas teenager?And more!Guest Info: Michael Mora is your friendly neighborhood Puerto Rican Political Freelance Writer for @wonkette.
