It's maddening. It has never been more important for Americans to stand up for democracy.You don't have to face stupidity alone. Every week (more or less), "Life in the Stupid Times" will examine the insanity to help you make sense of the growing pile of nonsense. We are proudly pro-democracy and anti-fascist.There's no cure for stupidity. But we can prevent it. Get your dose of sanity here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
