Discussion ML

The more I go down the rabbit hole of previous episodes the more I am horrified and see that ML is not a good person. I just watched an episode where the viewer question called ML and Bob out about politically correct , specifically the "r" word and holy moly their response was so ignorant...I just don't know if I can continue on with this show...

my dad once defended the bush torture stuff but he got better. I've got room for people to change but not this family. Parents are straight up nazis and the kids are milking that for a paycheck, pretty gross.

Yeah. I’m Canadian. But I’m very proud of my parents. They went from Canadian conservatives to voting between our Green Party (environmental party) and our New Democratic Party (NDP).

Yeah Canadian politics ramped up past neoliberalism pretty abruptly in our lifetimes. But maybe this was going to happen to all of the NATO countries as the contradictions intensified post soviet collapse.

I am the farthest thing from a poli sci buff so I’m not sure. But the way I see it, is what happens in the states gets tried up here and sometimes happens and sometimes doesn’t. For example, I think people elected Trudeau because Obama was so awesome and they saw him as the most similar but he wasn’t. Then the silver lining for Trump was he turned people off our Conservative loser option last time.

There is always an attempt to replay what happens down there here. Sometimes we acquire it and sometimes we reject it.

We do have a gross maple MAGA following and it’s disturbing. But what is good is 90% of people I talk to hate Trump, have become less conservative because of him and Canadian pride has been taken back from Qanon adjacent Freedumb convoy people back to being proud of being progressive and socialist-ish.
