Episode 4 – Money Good! Sorry Grandma
Episode 4 – WMD Podcast Rule #1: don’t concede the moral high ground just because someone claims it.
In this episode we pick apart a classic example of “the left can’t meme” where the creator tries, in vain, to plant his/her flag on mount “I’m better than you!” They’re not better than anyone, and we refuse to let them get away with claiming they are. It is possible to love grandma and live marginally free in the time of Covid. Shocker!
