Good interview! I sent the website for this exhibit to people. Much love from Australia.

To be franc, I’m a chemical engineer who has a pro-technology and vax bias but the social measures we had in place got really bloody scary.

The point at which the CMFEU construction Union didn’t let construction workers go to work and they started condemning protests was the minute it all snapped for me.

Don't need to listen to the episode to enthusiastically cosign this one, kek. I was raised in the liberal suburbs of a big city and changed sides because the right had better arguments, so it took me a lot longer than it should have to wrap my head around how intense and intractable this dynamic is. There is a not inconsequential demographic of people who'd rather bleed out on the pavement than notice the race of the guy who did it, because that might mean admitting that Dad back in flyover country was right about something.
