Lindsey Graham (thread 14), Episode 1: Lindsey Graham: A South Carolina Story of Power and Paradox, from John C Calhoun

We eulogize Lindsey Graham by asking what John C. Calhoun would make of a man who loved national power and projection as much as Calhoun feared them. It's a short, cheeky, and thoughtful look at how South Carolina politics changed from state sovereignty to global leadership.

Expect some wry comparisons, surprising sympathy, and the kind of historical twists that make you rethink both men — and the America they each tried to defend.
