Hi Geoff! I know you from Bulwark comments. I'm not a big podcast person, but I suspect the Bulwark podcasts have a bigger audience than the written articles. I think they also do some TikTok / Snapchat videos and YouTube videos that get a bigger reach. At least my kids have seen them. I was also surprised by the low subscription number. For such a low number, they seem to me to be getting attention.

But I also feel like all I do is preach to the choir because MAGA isn't willing to listen. I can't even convince my family that Trump is a criminal, and I know them pretty well. And Trump is obviously a criminal, so what could I possibly say to such a willful rejection of reality? We're all struggling with how to defeat fascism. A little hopium isn't terrible as long as it doesn't warp my sense of reality, but then these days how would I know if that happened?
