The New Abnormal

Interesting perspectives and stories/interviews I don’t get anywhere else. Enough humor to keep it entertaining and enough anger at the hypocrisy, that I can tell myself the rage does not make me abnormal

After reflecting more on the tragedy that has happened, and listening to many opinions, it seems to me that simple kitchen table economics turned the tide in this mostly red, working class neighborhood where whites, Blacks, Asians and Latinos live together. There are 2 magas for sure who are pretty hateful folks and I have no idea of their motivation. But for the others, food and living expenses were the top of the list and the illegal immigrants coming over the border was second. Harris/Walz ran a pretty incredible campaign overall with the exception of not letting Muslims have a voice about the Middle East and US/Jewish crimes against humanity. Elizabeth from NC

But the ads. I know they are necessary and I can subscribe to something to avoid them (hence no impact on my rating) but they are such looong ad breaks. I just skipped forward 7.5 minutes to get to the interview. That seems a little excessive for one ad break, no? Maybe it was a mistake but it feels like they get longer and longer. Maybe break them up a little more? Love the show! Thank you.

Thanks for the bonus show! Tucker Carlson just made my skin crawl. Someone should check on his children, for real. That was so gross. /It was good to hear on today’s show what needs to be said; ‘there is not going to be an easier time than now’ to tamp down this wave of cheating and authoritarianism. Every day I’ve been waiting for a sign that the democrats and sane republicans still in power realize this is not going to just go away or get easier. You don’t politely ask an authoritarian to stop stepping on your shoe. Unless you eventually want to go to war with them to get your foot back, don’t let them step on your shoe.
