🎧 Episode 5: “Who’s Gonna Ruin the U.S. First — Liberals or Conservatives?”
Jude asks the question no Thanksgiving table survives: who’s actually ruining the country — the left or the right? Vera responds by emotionally unplugging herself from the simulation. Not because she doesn’t have opinions, but because all of them are devastating.

🔥 In This Episode:

• Jude wonders if the culture war is real or just a billion-dollar distraction machine.

• Vera says “both sides” and actually means it, which is terrifying.

• They unpack polarization, performative wokeness, billionaires in fleece vests, and why you can’t fix fascism with a Canva infographic.

• Jude panics about democracy. Vera talks about entropy. It’s a whole thing.

• Someone mentions lizard people. No one denies it.

🧠 Big Question:
“Is the country falling apart — or is this just what collapse feels like in high resolution?”

Spoiler: You’re not burned out. You’re just awake.

🎙️ Listen if you:

• Argue with your uncle and your roommate

• Think political merch should be banned like lead paint

• Want to scream into a compostable coffee cup

• Are powered by vibes, spite, and a vague hope that Gen Z will fix it

🖤 P.S.:
At 2:19, Vera says the phrase “patriotic delusion spiral” and Jude gets genuinely concerned. Rightfully.
