The Daily Whatever, Sept 29: Overton Window 101 with Walter Rhein

Hello Everyone!It’s always a delight to join Dana and Lawrence. Today, we talked about the concept of the Overton window and how the right has been pushing our cultural perception of reality towards fascism for decades.I addressed this years ago in one of the first articles I ever wrote that featured my cartoons. If you know anyone who needs a “starter pack” as to what the Overton window is, send them this:After this talk I had all kinds of thoughts. Lawrence and I have been talking about partnering for some further projects, so stay tuned. There’s so much to do! But that’s good because action keeps anxiety away. Keep working everyone, keep resisting!I hope you enjoy this conversation!Thank you Robin Wilding, Nick Paro, Melissa Corrigan, she/her, Stephanie G Wilson, PhD, Brandon Ellrich, and many others for tuning into my live video with Dana DuBois and Lawrence Winnerman!
