This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Countries. Plus Where's Mitch?

from Ranting Out Loud: An LGBTQ+ perspective on life, love, politics and chaos · host Lee Swift, Chadrick Douglas, Producer Mike

Turns out Freedom 250 didn't just flop; it kept getting worse. Lee is back with Chadrick and Producer Mike to sift through the wreckage of America's birthday party, where empty crowds, rain delays, and Fox News' search for "the massive audience" became comedy gold. Then it's on to Mitch McConnell conspiracy theories, Ken Paxton's latest drama, Democrats eating their own before the midterms, and why the next generation may finally be ready to take the keys away from the political nursing home. To end on a lighter note, the guys ask a fun question: If you could travel back to 1996, what would surprise your younger LGBTQ self most about 2026? Marriage equality? Pete Buttigieg? RuPaul's Drag Race becoming mainstream? The answers might surprise you.
