    I was really surprised at first that it was a woman, but then it became pretty clear that she was an old, white woman, and then it at least made more sense. She’s (presently) unaffected by any of the bullshit that is being thrust upon women of child-bearing age, the persons of color, the non-binary folk, the young people hurt most by skyrocketing housing costs, etc; and she’s thoroughly unapologetic about her lack of empathy for any of those groups of her fellow Americans. Goddamn, what a bummer.

    EDIT: Then I made the mistake of continuing to listen, and half or more all of the callers for the next 20 minutes are brainwashed boomers ranting about how Biden was the devil and Trump is going to save us from the illegal immigrants who are ruining all of our lives. Yeesh.

      The irony is that autocracy can very well end up impacting her, as well as anyone else in the country. These people never really think it through - even if they are entirely selfish, there is no way that something like autocracy doesn’t end up being very inexact as to who it ends up harming.
