"I've trained all my life not to be distracted by distractions." -- Nik Wallenda.
The Professional Left Podcast with Driftglass and Blue Gal
Ep 907 We Are Not Distracted
We dive into the chaos on the right as their messaging machine encounters serious technical difficulties. While they're busy thrashing between conflicting loyalties and scrambling for the next official lie, we explore how power always finds someone else to blame and why Rebecca Solnit's brilliant "she made him do it" theory seems to explain everything in politics these days. Plus, we celebrate a spicy email from our friends at Penzey's and remind everyone that paper straws and pronouns are NOT the problem.
Recorded live from the Cornfield Resistance

Good morning, BG and DG!
Not sure if this was intentional, though it seems it must have been: your audio on this cast is monophonic for each speaker; BG is on my left side and DG is on my right. It's different! I think I prefer the old way more, though obviously I'm not going to stop listening to you either way.
The segment on feminism, narcissistic emotional abuse (specifically DARVO) and the relationship of those behaviors to GOP politicians (and voters) hits particularly hard. Gets a strong agree from me.
Thanks as always for your work. Stay safe.
