On this episode Rebecca and I share with you our election anxieties as election day draws closer, and the unprecedented amount of odd and extreme misinformation floating around out there about the election and hurricane Helene and Milton, the unprecedented depravity in our politics today, and the sheer stupidity of some people who fall for Trump's lies and Fox News's woeful and despicable propaganda. We've always known Trump to bend the truth, but I never could have imagined we'd get to the point where Republicans would push such insane conspiracy theories about Democrats "manipulating the weather," or Trump scaring his own supporters in their time of need with blatant lies about hurricane relief aid, as well as Trump's nonstop lying about the hurricane response and his debunked lies about the hurricane. It's immoral, it's unconscionable, and it's the lowest and most despicable I've ever seen Trump or Republicans, and that's saying something!

At the end of the day, we just wanted to come on here and see how you're doing, and to see if you're feeling how we're feeling. We just wanted to get things off our chest about the craziness out there about the election coverage, and to blow off steam about the media's "sane washing" of Trump, and some of the media's complicity in not addressing the barrage of terrible behaviors about Trump's fitness to serve as President. But, there's hope you guys! Kamala Harris is ahead in the polls, and we believe, despite our frustration and all the hateful rhetoric out there, that sanity and goodness will prevail, so long as we're super motivated to vote, and to get our friends and family to vote too! Here, we go into all of it, and we thank you for your friendship and support! Sanity and democracy will prevail, so long as we're all motivated to use our power to vote, and to thwart the dystopian lies and nihilistic craziness some peddle on a daily basis.
