#665 Trump/ Vance / McDonalds 2024 (preview)

TODAY: We check out the right-wing reaction to Trump's win which is unfortunately hyper-fixated on assault, and ponder the hetero-flexibility that occurs in politically destabilized zones. PLUS: Trump voters' daddy issues are still on display, this time via the Man Shed facebook page AND: Staten Island Ferry workers' contract win + backpay enrages New York Post, commenters, twitter hashtag lawyers.

It's so Joe-ver. Sorry for the late release folks. Busy week. We're the aftermath of Democrats' disastrous presidential campaign and faced with another Trump presidency We review the Democratic party's strategy and figure out which scapegoat will allow us to learn nothing from this historic event. Were Democrats too nice to latinos? Did they not sufficiently support Israel? Did they not gestate enough republican never-Trumper egg sacs? What is going on?? Also: The voting public's desire for "change" from a two-party system that only moves rightward, hemorrhaging working class voters but still winning the union vote, and a Democrat who helped Biden screw up the Afghanistan withdrawal figures out the real problem: trans kids on sports teams.

It's that time of years: Election Day. And what an election it's been. We give the official MDC presidential prognosis (Both candidates will save democracy) and dive into the Trump campaign's truly bizarre endgame strategies. Micro-targeted racism to Puerto Ricans, a spiteful McDonald's shift, handing your ground game off to Elon Musk who tells everyone your presidency will result in necessary hardship and a market crash, and many more incredible tactics.
