Voter ID Absurdity, Meme Outrage and the End of Orange Juice
from The Snark Factor · host Fingers Malloy
Sarah Smith has the week off, so Teri Christoph (RedState contributor, Smart Girl Politics co-founder, and Substack writer) joins Fingers for a wide-ranging ride that starts with politics and ends with frozen orange juice… like God intended. First, Fingers and Teri dig into the rhetoric around the SAVE Act and the increasingly bizarre argument that women (and minorities) are somehow “too incapable” to handle voter ID and name changes — a take that collapses under even mild contact with reality. From there, the conversation gets darker: how the outrage machine escalates, why good-faith debate with bad-faith actors is a trap, and Teri shares the story of receiving a death threat over memes — and why she decided to take it all the way to the authorities. Then the show pivots into the cultural gut-punch portion of your weekend: Coca-Cola is discontinuing Minute Maid frozen concentrate after 80 years, and two generations of people who survived on “three cans of water” are not okay. Plus: the war on QR code menus, the CPAC COVID quarantine story that still feels surreal, and why the Super Bowl halftime show has officially become another political Rorschach test. All that, plus: luxury retail slipping, dupes rising, and one more reminder that the world will take everything from you… starting with your orange juice. The Snark Factor — with Fingers Malloy — on WAAM Talk Radio.
