Manufacturing Dissent Since 1996

Sexual frustration and dysfunction have been used as metaphors for fascism since fascism first raised its ugly, half-hard erection. It is in that satirical tradition I am operating here. I guess.

Jeff Dorchen reads Amber A'Lee Frost's Baffler article My Kind of Misogyny: I Don’t Care If They Call a Warhawk “Cankles” and then writes his own radio essay - on a new name for Hillary Clinton that I feel gross about writing here, on brocialism and silverbackness, the noncharismatic character actor-ness of Bernie Sanders, second degree transplaining at his monthly political discussion group, and the sour defeaty undertaste of victory in 2016.
