Sorry to hear that. Most of the bluegrass folks I listen to are definitely on the more progressive/inclusive side. Can't speak for the fans though.

He probably enjoyed himself today so the guilt is kicking in

That first part should be on new Bulwark merch.

When I was young I thought it was really cool that they could talk to the computer in Star Trek. I laughed when Scotty tried to use the mouse as a microphone in the time travel movie.
I don't like the future as much as I expected.

The priestly garments were probably not well thought out from a merchandising perspective.

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

I'm looking forward to Comey going to trial. I don't think it's going to go how they want it to go.

He has also recently started questioning whether originalism as he previously advocated really makes sense. I appreciate anyone willing to reconsider their priors.

I think that is true, but he has shifted a lot from where he started. The racist attacks on his daughter really shook him out of his conservative complacency.

I used to listen more consistently but Sarah seems to increasingly perform whatsboutism when David tries to point out how the DOJ is being corrupted. Her GOP political activist instincts can't let go.

One reason I think so many people are being fired merely for quoting what Kirk actually said is that, based on what I've read, many of his followers were in social media silos where they never heard those things. Showing full picture risks Trump admin being able to capitalize on this politically

100% this. There's a huge bump of church folk who have a highly sanitized feed. It's self-fulfilling, because if they start to read anything negative they immediately think it's from "the enemy" and stop reading

I think so. An older friend from church clearly only thought of Kirk as a great Christian witness. She also seemed to think TPUSA was an evangelical org.
I think there's a lot of more disconnected people out there who watch Fox and then listen to evangelical podcasts. They get a very sanitized feed.

What do you mean efficient? Like how health insurance is efficient? That sort of thing?
