Stupid Right-Wing Propaganda

James and Lisa talk about some of the weirdness in the news since the last podcast, including a very creepy Trump fundraising letter, Trumpy's spontaneous napping on the job and how badly the Melania documentary has bombed at the box office. Other themes James and Lisa explore: Is this winter real? Has voting ruined women? And what do right-wingers have in common with suicidal penguins? The answer might surprise you!We're witnessing what could be the most perplexing era in American history.Donald Trump and his supporters are spreading fringe ideas, conspiracy theories, anti-intellectualism, and a rejection of science are all gaining a foothold in our public discourse. 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.
