Howdy Fearmongers,
Trying to make sense of the US election is a fool’s errand.
Well, consider us your fools.
I spent Wednesday afternoon not being able to work, or anything really, the limit of my motor skills maxed out at flipping between live YouTube channels of US-based news and refreshing the NYT app. This was the wrong choice. If I’ve learned anything from following US elections — no one knows anything, and everyone is making it up.
As the red wave continued to spill across the USA I did the first sensible thing all day and walked to the pub. My wife and I sat in the spring afternoon sun, drinking a non-alcoholic beer, (because I’m now a soy boy that has been fully cucked) and feeling grateful that we live in Australia, and surely, nothing like that could happen here. Right? 🥔
On this week’s pod we chat with US comedian, journalist, activist and friend of the pod Francesca Fiorentini (The Bitchuation Room), and also we’re lucky enough to grab Amy Remeikis in between meetings at her new gig at the Australia Institute.
We consider why the Democratic party lost this election, and what another Trump administration means for climate action — and what if a social media ban is just a cynical attempt at stopping 13 year olds being radicalised by Joe Rogan.
Cheers
Dan
