I mean, it's so, I don't know.

I mean, I talk about a lot on the show, like, how it feels like there's nobody. Like, it doesn't feel like there's nobody in charge. It does feel sometimes like there's somebody in charge. But it doesn't feel like there's any check on anybody in charge. And it feels like the people in charge, like there's no, and this is a very simplistic framing, but you'll me like good guys out there you know it's all

just like scumbags from the top to the bottom yeah and i mean it's a little we were talking a

little bit about this before recording too the right wing has kind of taken on the mantle of both

revolution in as much as they want to accelerate

things down a certain path in a way that's inconsistent with the institutional checks and structures

in existence, but they also are in power. So they're kind of now, we're seeing them actually exercise power in a way that's totally unchecked.

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

I mean, it is like not to be whatever about this, but like some of the shit the Trump administration is doing is fucking kind of insane.

Oh, it's totally insane. And all the left

responds to it is we should just, you know, put the toothpaste back in the tube and try to go

back to how things were after the church committee. Yeah, exactly. We need another church committee

or whatever the fuck. Like, it's not really a solution because it doesn't

recognize the real problem yeah and it doesn't have any sense of the power dynamics that are at play

it on purpose largely because like i said I mean they're just

yeah and it's it's to me it's just like they talk about sort of the erosion of the

democratic institutions I mean this is a big liberal talking point but guess what

they've eroded you know what I mean they were eroded they suck now I mean they

weren't very good to begin with and now they're really really really bad and they don't work anymore. And there is no like solution that you see from anyone besides just like, oh, we'll rebuild them. Well, it's like, I don't think that's going to happen at this point. Because A, there's power there that you could use if you're like a lib who gets into power which you're certainly did not really

happen that much during the Biden I mean they tried to you know they tried to they tried to get

Trump on like the stormy Daniel shit in New York court it's like that's that's your your like

attempted this it's dog shit you know. And you don't need new laws.
