The Boredwalk Podcast Episode 270: No Kings 2: Electric Boogaloo

Tess Menzies, Gabe Sanchez, and Meredith Erin from the Boredwalk content team sit down to discuss all the recent(ish) happenings in the U.S., including:

• The regime's unauthorized demolition of the east wing of the White House for a gilded ballroom literally no one asked for

• The recent completely peaceful, totally legal, and robustly attended nationwide No Kings protest and the outright lying & fearmongering of the regime's propaganda machine denouncing U.S. citizens' First Amendment rights

• The regime's dangerous decision to fire live weapons across interstate 5 between Los Angeles & San Diego in opposition of the No Kings protests, which ended up damaging California Highway Patrol property as well as the Vice President's own motorcade with shrapnel

• The continued infringement of civil liberties via the illegal racially motivated assault on and kidnapping of legal residents and U.S. citizens

• MAGA's desperate gaslighting to non-cultists in a feeble attempt to normalize the pro-Nazi rhetoric of the modern Republican party

• Legal threats to the Voting Rights Act that will remove protections against racially-motivated gerrymandering, allowing the unpopular minority to consolidate political power despite the objective unpopularity of their policies and candidates

• The importance of voting in EVERY election, being informed about what is being voted on, and how to make electoral participation fun

We then check in with the latest dispatch from Troll-sylvania, which involves Cynthia's dislike of our activity books, but then hero Tamara weighs in with glowing praise for those same books!

In an effort to take things out on a high note, our hosts wrap up the episode by trading answers to questions pulled from our Delve Deck conversation card sets! This week we answer the questions "what movie trope annoys you the most?", "what fictional did you find yourself rooting for?", and "what is your favorite way to bribe yourself to do things?"

Thanks for stopping by to hang out, commiserate, and (hopefully) laugh with us!
