Mo deconstructs the Disney movie "Zootopia," focusing on the villain Dawn Bellwether, a "lamb in sheep's clothing" who rises to power by manipulating fear between predators and prey. Mo draws a parallel between Bellwether's unassuming, "overworked" persona and the public image of Ketanji Brown Jackson. He suggests that Disney movies often contain deep political archetypes that influence both children and parents.
In "Zootopia," Dawn Bellwether uses her position as assistant mayor to undermine "predators" like Mayor Lionheart, eventually aiming for prey to "reign supreme." Mo suggests this reflects a "majority rule" strategy where 90% of the population is unified against a common enemy. Adam and Mo discuss whether a Supreme Court seat is the "end station" of power or a platform for radical social restructuring.
