    Unfortunately, we’ve got a national media landscape that is absolutely choked with reactionary messaging and fascist propaganda.

    I can’t really blame a woman way out in West Texas - absolutely swimming in the slurry of AM Radio and right-wing press and arch-conservative religious institutions and social circles - who comes of age thinking that the “Pro-Life Party” actually gives a shit about the lives of young children while the “Far Left Socialist Party” wants to feed your innocent white babies into a Chinese Muslim wood chipper.

    Probably doesn’t help when the liberal party that ostensibly represents the state’s enfranchised opposition spends half their time insisting “Actually yes! Immigration and tax cuts and oil drilling and Israel are the things that matter most! Those conservatives are just doing it incorrectly. They should govern more like Andrew Cuomo and Gavin Newsom!”

    I’m dreading going into 2026, when the national big topic of conversation is going to be whether George Soros paid ISIS illegal immigrants to install the windmills that caused West Texas 9/11.
