Ten people wake up drugged and confused on a cliff-ringed island in the middle of the ocean. Their host calls it Eden. He calls it an experiment. Then he gets back in the helicopter and leaves them there with the cameras, the drugs, and each other. Welcome to The Dope Show.

In this special episode of Wireland Ranch, we trace how this carnie technology became the operating system of American politics, from Lee Atwater's 1981 confession to DHS posting ASMR deportation content on government accounts.
