The Boredwalk Podcast Episode 243: Blasphemous Humors
The Boredwalk Podcast
Tess, Ansley, and Gabe weigh in on the cognitive dissonance of evangelical MAGA's weird (and blasphemous) idolatry of their felonious orange demigogue.

Ansley then shouts out patient Boredwalk fans who are willing to engage with dum-dums in our social comments so we don't have to. You da real MVPs!

info_outlineWe're back with another mini-episode! Tess Menzies & Ansley Hutchinson from Boredwalk's content team share some actionable ways that U.S. citizens who are unhappy with the way the new regime is operating can stand up against encroaching fascism. These include:
• Voting! Not just every four years during presidential elections, but in local and midterm elections whenever they pop up! None of this "mY vOtE dOeSn'T mAtTeR" nonsense.
Live in a deep blue area and think your vote isn't "needed"? WRONG! Run up the score! Make it crystal clear to supporters of "the other candidate(s)" that their ideas and priorities are unpopular.
Live in a deep red area and think there's no way your vote can sway things? WRONG! Make the elected officials who win aware that their constituency isn't monolithic and that you and your likeminded voters expect a seat at the table, regardless of the electoral outcome!
• Coalition building! Stop in-fighting and purity testing! Find common ground with the folks you disagree with least and form a coalition with them to tackle the biggest problems that you DO agree on!
• Be media literate! Don't get sucked into arguments with bots and human trolls. It saps your energy and makes you feel like the other side is bigger than it is. Every social platform has mute, block, or restrict features. Use them to your advantage.
• Talk openly and proudly about your values and how bad policies are directly impacting you and the people you care about. This helps turn the tide as far as approval ratings and gets other people fired up and engaged.
Our co-hosts then read and respond to some recent social media comments on Boredwalk's posts, as well as a recent product review from a customer.
Things wrap up with Tess, Ansley, and Meredith trading personal anecdotes sparked by questions from our Delve Deck conversation card sets! They share which habits other people have that are annoying from the Venting Edition, and their favorite things on the internet from the Joy Edition.
We're so pleased to be spending time in your ear balls. Come commiserate & laugh at the hellscape with us!
