Another great show! Love your livestreams and even finally went premium on rumble to avoid the ads since I mostly have to listen to replays.
I have a half formed thought I wanted to throw your way and want to preface it by saying I absolutely agree with you about truth telling and the people who lie to their audiences; the excuses re waking up the normies, etc.
In the light of last week’s non-disclosure event, and all the other frustrating fake disclosures / limited hangouts that present - as if it were new - information we’ve all had for years… I’ve started thinking of the Informational Timeline* as a game board path similar to Chutes and Ladders - or Candy Land, or any kids’ game where, if you draw the right card or land on the right square, you have the opportunity to jump ahead suddenly. When these disclosures are announced, the people who are “MAGA normies” (for lack of a better term) are given a crash course in old information that they previously didn’t have - maybe because they just started paying attention, or because they’ve been stuck in Ben Shapiro’s Diner, or they only watch Bret and Martha - whatever the reason. The game masters have decided it’s time to accelerate, so the normies (MAGA and otherwise) are whisked from where they were to a place farther along the timeline in one fell swoop. In some of those kids games, the player who skips ahead can send the player already on that square back to a previous square. Sometimes that’s how it feels when the limited hangouts happen. It’s like we’re all suddenly thrust backward on the timeline - at least temporarily, while the newcomers get up to speed. Other times they just join us and move forward while they all play catch up on the social media platforms. Again, not a fully formed idea, but I’m curious as to your thoughts… Thank you for all you do!!
*your Informational Timeline analogy is so brilliant! Everyone gets the concept and it’s so helpful to think of people as just being at different points along the timeline.
Another banger show!! Thanks Chris, you are the best!!
Thank you!
