While I can appreciate the optimism of "they're out there, we just have to find them" it doesn't do anyone any good to pretend our ideological enemies don't exist, and to not have a sober accounting of them.
There are red states. I'm in OK and while the cities are purple ish, anything the state votes on as a whole is overwhelmingly red. In fact as turnout increases it actually gets redder.

Progressives love to think that every red state is hiding a tranche of leftist rednecks, but it's just not true.
Use of the word "evil" in official congressional e-newsletters, over time, by party
Something I think about not infrequently is that in the movie Step Brothers, they chose to make the "Brendan's got a man-gina" chant in 5/4 instead of a triple meter like 6/8 or 12/8. What an odd choice.
Bryan, do a special episode called Guys Gals, and it's about the token woman who goes on bro podcasts. Your Kristi Lees, Whitney Cummings, etc.

Quote this with the first four Horror movies that come to your mind that are 10/10s for you. No cheating. Just the first four that pop into your head.

Scream

The Babadook
Alien
They're probably already exploring Ft Sill for this very purpose. Its entire history has been "fort in a desolate place in the middle of the country to send whatever internal enemies we're currently targeting."
Honestly, with the sheer volume of Netflix original content, it's kind of surprising they haven't made a "This Week On Netflix" show where they promote their own stuff, show trailers, interview actors, etc.
I have a young relative staying with me this weekend and so we've been doing a lot of "family" stuff. I've determined that there are essentially three kinds of dads one is allowed to be:

-Dad who will kill you with a gun
-Clown dad
-Golf dad
These peoples' brains are pickled by late night TV.
Add this toy ever growing "they should make a block list from this criteria" idea list:

Anyone who has ever attempted to lib humor riff in the comments of an Aaron Rupar post.
Really makes me wish we could have seen more from Paxton as a director.
There is an argument that THEY at least consider their critic duties to be part of their profession 😂
While not professionals per se, would Hornby's "High Fidelity" count?
There are a few areas that have been bizarrely worse than prescribed in P2025 (happy to talk more about this privately, as it concerns me talking about a previous employer/job) that caught a lot of feds off guard BECAUSE people were assuming he'd do P2025.
Libby and other library discovery platforms should have a "secular" filter. It's kinda ridiculous that you can either see a thousand self help books that are mixed religious and secular, or you can see that 600 that are religious, but you can't see the 400 that aren't religious.
The way most people use this site is baffling. I follow exactly 1 person in the top 100 on this list. Expand it out to the top 300 and I only follow 8.
if you can look at it without catching poster’s madness, the list of who actually gets engagement here is pretty interesting. somewhat dire at the top but quickly it’s real and high quality posters.

One of the all time greatest Oscars injustices.
This is why they broaden the definitions of what they THINK happens to include the stuff that DOES happen. For example if you come into college believing in creationism and your intro bio prof says that evolution is real, that is not woke indoctrination. But they'll call it woke indoctrination.
The gap between what the right thinks happens on college campuses and what actually happens is absurd. I had some great students and some awful ones; we talked about some difficult topics, from sexual violence to capitalism to exploitation; it was fine. Nobody lost their shit, because we're adults.
I'm anxiously awaiting his first LibGuide
I can assure you that after a few seasons, they will have successfully brought you to the inevitable point of "ok both of these people are ridiculously hot".
At this point, I find NPR news more maddening and distressing than something like OAN or Fox News. The calm measured tone while saying completely insane things is uniquely horrific.
