A Political Thread pt. 2

[Ragey Erasmus]

Not had such a right wing administration in my life time. Think W Wilson was the last President this far right.

Not even just right wing, outright criminal and straight up fascist...

Rofl, I think Trump is trying to one up himself with each new pick. RFK Jr is now health secretary. That's just batshit insane.

I was really hoping they would be better. I know some people might see it as a minor gaff in terms of politics and losing voters (though obviously serious to the people involved), but I was really hoping that they would be better.

In the show I explore the concept of free speech fundamentalism, which is prized by much of the online right. As I explain, it’s nearly always intellectually dishonest.

You mean to say, free speech absolutists like Musk, for example, who thinks that saying "Hitler did nothing wrong" is allowable speech, but saying "Allah Akbar" is a terrorist attrocity, at least as bad as attempting to burn down a hotel full of refugees - might be intellectually dishonest in their "absolute" approach to free speech?

I'm shocked to hear that.
