Ep 1007: Happy Birthday Blue Gal Retrospective, Part I
from The Professional Left Podcast with Driftglass and Blue Gal · host Driftglass and Blue Gal
Episode 1007 celebrates Blue Gal's birthday with a nostalgic trip through 16 years of podcast archives, revisiting what was happening in politics on or around her birthday each year since 2010. Driftglass and Blue Gal trace a remarkable through-line from the Tea Party's rise and the "Evil, Stupid, or Crazy" game, through Obama-era both-siderism, Trump's 2016 takeover, and the pandemic's collapse of conservative respectability. The episode reveals how the same cast of media enablers and Republican radicals keeps reappearing decade after decade, proving some patterns never change even as the crises get bigger. It's part one of a two-part birthday retrospective, with 2021 through 2026 still to come.Stay in Touch!
