I am so sick of watching this country make the same mistakes over and over and over with this fucking pandemic

Require proof of vax & masks for all domestic flights
Masks for all indoor spaces & workplaces
No indoor dining/gatherings

We could have ended this so many times over

Stop letting republicans & right wing lunatics with inexplicably large followings like @benshapiro who have “DO NOT COMPLY” as their profile picture while they and their entire families are fully vaccinated control the narrative. Stop playing defense against this murderous idiocy

ENOUGH

@benshapiro thinks he’s some sort of pro debater, right?

Ok, Ben. I challenge you to justify telling your nearly 4+ million followers and god knows how many fucking podcast listeners you have to “not comply” with something you’ve complied with & know can save their lives

No, vaccine mandates are not unconstitutional. They’ve been around since the country was founded

No, mask mandates do not infringe on a single freedom

No, there are no religions nor health conditions that exempt you from vaccination or mask-wearing

JUST. STOP. WITH. THE. B.S.

Of course Trump sabotaged & downplayed our pandemic response every single day. I wrote an entire thread on this and it’s indisputable. But the @GOP not only went all in on whitewashing the insurrection, they went all in on MAXIMIZING COVID DEATHS & PROLONGING THE PANDEMIC FOREVER

I do not understand having to simply stand by and watch a major political party commit mass murder of their constituents because they have some warped calculation telling them that this still somehow represents their best chance at retaking control of the House & Senate next year

The biggest complaint people tell me about is w/ democrats’ messaging; but what it really boils down to is that while MSM is primarily controlled by conservatives (the whole “liberal media” thing is a myth), the right also has this vast well coordinated echo-chamber of PROPAGANDA

So how do we counter this? I’ve been trying to answer this for a while now and the simplest and most straightforward way I can think of is a podcast. I know there’s a million of them. But the right has a monopoly on streams right now & every word uttered on the top ones is a lie.

What’s great about a podcast is that production costs are low & your audience is virtually limitless if what you have to say resonates with people & offers them something. My background is in psychology and sociology but I read a lot and feel like I could be a force for good here

So I am developing a podcast that will launch in the new year and will serve as the antithesis to the insane MAGA movement trying to bring down our democracy empowered by people like Steve Bannon & pseudo-intellectuals spouting COVID disinformation like @benshapiro & @joerogan

I will keep you updated on launch dates. In the meantime, if you have ideas for topics or guests feel free to DM me. I’m really excited about finally getting to talk to you guys more directly. Let’s see if we can finally start injecting some truth into the podcast universe.
