I’ve been off my normal newsfeeds and chattering class podcasts for the last three weeks. I’ll probably start back on them in another week or so. My job interacts with national politics too much to be too ignorant. Plus, I wasn’t aware of how many of my family, friends, and acquaintances rely on me to be up to date.

Anywhoo, the reason of this post was I dipped into The Fifth Column podcast because I really like the hosts, and Megyn Kelly was the guest. I figured they would bullshit with their guest and rarely touch current political bullshit. And for the most part, they did.

There was one discussion when Kelly expressed either hers or her interpretation of current MAGA thinking.

We need to hit them so hard while we have the power that they will think twice about doing it to us if they get control again.

When? When has it ever been the case? Particularly in the last fifteen years?

It has been tit-for-tat ramping up. Little bullshit squabbles have grown to the point that both sides are quite happy using the power of the state to punish their enemies and enforce their petty dictates.

This is the kind of mindset that makes me want to just say fuck-it to politics altogether. Just join The Wife in blissful ignorance and focus on which story I want to write and which anime I want to watch.
