The Boredwalk Podcast Episode 262: Secession, but make it soft

The Boredwalk content team of Ansley Hutchinson, Tess Menzies, and Gabe Sanchez is back to discuss the so-called "soft secession" that is allegedly being discussed privately among the Democratic governors of certain majority-Democrat (aka "blue") states in response to the Trump regime's increasingly divisive and authoritarian policies and how that potential fracturing of the Union may take shape. We also revisit the topic of gerrymandering, the chaotic and economically damaging tariff policies and their contribution to the growing isolationist stance of the U.S. in relation to long-standing international allies, and the ongoing real-time decomposition of the supposed "strong man" at the heart of it all. Moving on, we check in with the latest dispatch from Troll-sylvania, where we get to respond to a virtue signaling scold who thinks what we do at Boredwalk is in some way a less form of resistance. Not sure how being tiresome and judgmental equates with being virtuous, but here we are. This is followed by a nice palate cleanser in the form of a glowing review for our Bloodthirsty & Bewitched goth activity book for adults before our hosts wrap up the episode by trading answers to questions pulled from our Delve Deck conversation card sets! This week we answer the questions "what is something you're getting worse at?", "what's the most beautiful place you've ever been to?", and "what is the best physical sensation?" Thanks for stopping by to hang out, commiserate, and (hopefully) laugh with us!
