It’s All Connected

What this episode covers

Every single Lego block… Greg Abbott has been on a mission: banning mask mandates, signing anti-abortion legislation, trying to get voter suppression bills passed, all with one goal in mind, to become the chosen one & carry on the Covfefe Crown. However, his mission has hit a real hindrance, he’s infected with... the COVID! Will this make him take public caution more seriously? Stay tuned. We discuss the American right-wing and how its media & politicians play the game that keeps their base in an echo chamber that contributes to further validating their beliefs & further radicalizing many of them. We also discuss (as total non-experts in foreign affairs) the situation with America pulling military operations out of Afghanistan & the subsequent fall of Kabul to the Taliban. The rapid fall despite a military campaign that spanned 20 years & now 4 presidential administrations has been met with polarized responses that really made us wonder what it was all for. Also, we had to just marvel at the truly unsurprising tweets & rants from right-wingers sympathizing with the Taliban. Other topics include working the smoothie machine at McDonald’s, a QAnon follower whose beliefs drove him to atrocity, USA’s role in destabilizing a number of Latin American countries, & just more right-wing nonsense.
