The Podcast

Make the connections - because nothing scares the Daddy State more than a voter with a properly functioning memory.

  • It's OK if the guy's a racist asshole - he'll keep the wrong people from voting
  • It's OK if he advocates in favor of torture - we'll get a muscular foreign policy
  • It's OK if he thinks Jews control all media- we'll get schools that teach the bible
  • It's OK if he wants to short-circuit Due Process - we'll get law-n-order
  • It's OK - boys will be boys
  • It's OK - we'll get Roe v Wade overturned
  • It's OK - we'll get tax cuts
  • It's OK - we'll get back to a profit-taking healthcare system
  • It's OK - we'll protect the rent-seeking bankers
  • It's OK - thoughts & prayers

When all of that's been drilled into the heads of your voters, don't be so surprised when those voters begin acting like the assholes you've told them it's OK to be.


Do the merch, bitches

Remembering others who've been where we are now
is how we move from despair to celebration
We will find each other in the darkness
and move the light to where we need it

“Nevertheless, in this sea of human wretchedness and malice there bloomed at times compassion, as a pale flower blooms in a putrid marsh.”
― Henryk Sienkiewicz, In Desert and Wilderness
