GasLit Nation: Kanye. Elon. Trump

GASLIT NATION WITH ANDREA CHALUPA AND SARAH KENDZIOR

Imagine: the year is 2005. The Apprentice dominates the airwaves, Kanye West dominates the charts, and you are told that in seventeen years, you will be comparing the antisemitic rants of former presidential candidate West to the antisemitic rants of former president Trump as you analyze the descent of the United States into full-fledged authoritarian kleptocracy. Where is a Tesla time machine when you need one?! Surely transporting us back to an era in which we could alter our current timeline this would be a better endeavor for shit-talker Elon Musk than taking over Twitter while bonding with the extremist right.

  1. And here we are…I would not have believed it in 2005. I am frustrated when I see and hear individuals remark that the economy and gas prices are because of the “libtards”–people believing simple statements made from the right–no desire to look beyond their noses and see the record making profits that corporate America is making and the greed that keeps prices high. Where do I live??? The misogyny and racism is thick–the antisemitism is abhorrent, and it has become normalized. Terrifying.
