Being a busy working mom, I’m often playing catch-up on currently trending shows and will often watch them several months after they’ve been released. So was the case with American Crime Story: Impeachment. As is a habit of mine when I enjoy a show, I went searching for a podcast that discusses it, characters, plots, etc. which is how I found this show. Each episode became more and more difficult to stomach as I listened to bias from the 2 primary hosts Axel and Gina, so aggressively slanted toward hating anything that wasn’t “liberal” that it became impossible to listen to. The last straw for me was them doubting that Jaunita Broderick was worthy of any sympathy as a rape victim because they didn’t like her conservative Twitter feed. So much for “believe women” right? Never mind that Juanita Broderick passed a lie detector test or had credible witnesses who saw her after Bill Clinton raped her; she’s a Conservative, so IF she was raped, she probably deserved it, right?
On the flip side? Brett Kavanaugh was the biggest scum that ever lived (because his accuser WAS apparently credible since she was a Liberal) and Monica should’ve been “smart” and tampered with evidence and gotten rid of her blue dress to save Clinton’s presidency.
Sometimes it baffles when people who think they’re so “woke” trample all over what the espouse is their own values and don’t even realize it. Had they stuck to the times they were talking about the show, the performances, compared the episodes to events in history, etc. it would’ve been thoroughly enjoyable. But when you start picking and choosing which rape victims get to be believed based upon their politics? I’m out.
