Hello everybody, it's Chapo coming at you Monday, November 21st.

And before we start the show today, I just feel like days like today, I find it hard

to start the show and start talking shit, getting into the riffing and having fun because

of events that pass the ball over anything I could possibly say.

So at the same time, I don't feel like I can turn away from grief and anger.

So I thought about this all morning and tried to sort of jot down the way I feel right

now.

So I'll just begin the show by saying this.

On a recent episode, I said that the right wing's libs of TikTok midterm election strategy

didn't pan out for them.

And while it may be true that it has failed politically, it is certainly having its intended

effect, which is the murder of gay and trans people, whether it's a libs of TikTok, Christopher

Rufo, Matt Walsh, you know the rest.

There's absolutely no point in spending even a second engaging with their whole, who

me and how dare you politicize this tragedy routine that they're all performing at the

same time now.

But suffice to say, every politician and media figure who boosted rhetoric about grooming,

drag queen story hour and slandered gay people as pedophiles, they do it because they think

it'll gain the money, clout, and political power.

But also because they know it will lead to atrocities exactly like what happened in Colorado

Springs yesterday.

We know who these people are and what they want.
