The Boredwalk Podcast Episode 259: Gerrymandering Mania!

This week Boredwalk co-founders Matt & Meredith fill in for Ansley & Gabe and join Tess to discuss Texas's gerrymandering shenanigans and the countermeasures that California and other majority Democrat states are proposing to neutralize this grotesque power grab.

This leads into a conversation about the much-needed shift in attitude and tactics by Democratic leadership away from adhering to institutional norms in order to "take the high road" and instead meet Republican legislators at their own level (i.e., the gutter).

We also check in on the continued very illegal and morally disgusting kidnappings of US citizens and legal residents by ICE agents in Los Angeles and around the rest of the country, and how generally conservative economic policies are worse for the majority of the country — including businesses — despite the GOP being associated with sound economic policy. It's truly maddening that so many voters continue to be hoodwinked by this boondoggle.

Moving on, we check in with the latest dispatch from Troll-sylvania, where we get to disabuse fragile men in the comments of the notion that misandry is a thing that exists (it does not).

This is followed by a nice palate cleanser in the form of a glowing 5-star review for our newly-released Sinister Affirmations card deck, and then we wrap up the episode by trading answers to questions pulled from our Delve Deck conversation card sets. This week we answer the questions "what's your 'not my proudest moment' story?", "what's your least-favorite emotion?", and "what's your favorite thing about your body?" Thanks for stopping by to hang out, commiserate, and (hopefully) laugh with us!
