Ok, this isn't actually an kind of comment on the podcast, since for some reason you don't post my comments, despite the fact that I don't remember actually disagreeing with you at any time in the ten years or so I have been "subscribing to your newsletter"..in any case.
You may want to unleash your formidable photo shop skill on this absolutely perfect metaphor for the republican party created by our friends in Japan.

Jr. Dude probably knows more about this manga than you or I, but the short of it is: Humanity is confined by a concentric series of walls (the royals living in the innermost..various levels of peasantry further out) to protect themselves from the Titans; a race of giants who feed on people.
Apparently, the Titans don't even need to eat (they have no digestive systems), but just like coming in and chowing down on humanity when they feel the urge, while literally grinning ear to ear.
Love to see all the clown cars heads munching on the poors, the gayss ect....you get the picture.
Plus, just as a sci fi trope...its kinda fucking nightmarish horrifying.
Yours in titanic people munching christ.

FYI I just clicked on your link, blackdaug, and it says "profile not available"... not sure what that means...

Courageous of you folks to address the Netroots/Black Lives Matter issue.

I think you nailed down the right balance of issues versus process.
