This past week, a guy won an election in Virginia, a guy who a few years ago expressed his desire to see his political rival's wife holding their dying children who had just been shot.

He wanted their children to be murdered so that it would change their views on policy.

He also expressed that were he in a room with this man and he had two bullets, he'd put, he'd shoot him and kill him.

Now, we've had this conversation on various Timcast shows about what is making people so insane.

There's a story I read recently, I think it was on Reddit, and it was a guy saying that he's

in a relationship with a woman.

He's not very political, but he knows that she's kind of a liberal.

And she asked him about transgender ideology, to which he calmly explained his views,

and he didn't really care all that much, but here's what he thought.

And he said she had an emotional breakdown, furious and angry that he would not agree that men can be

women and that trans women are women. And he was just trying to explain, well, I mean, a male getting

surgery is a male who got surgery. You can call them whatever you want, but she was not having it.

He said, maybe our relationship is doomed.

And that's just one scenario.

We've heard it over and over again about people who are seemingly possessed.

Something has taken over their logic centers.

Something is making them say, I don't care what's true.

You must march in line with us.

And they use violence and emotional manipulation.

And you take a look at the political right, whatever you want to call it, and it's people of rather different ideologies.

So we've got an interesting show for the culture war today.

And I think it's a really great example that Seamus Coglin is here because he and I, 15, 20 years ago, would have been the complete polar opposites politically.
