Yeah, Cowherd is an insufferable douchebag, but he's not wrong about Trump.

I don’t get the hate for Cowherd. I listen to him in the car and find I agree with quite a bit of what he says. His analysis is usually pretty good/interesting and his show flows well.

Stephen A, Skip Bayless, Shannon Sharp, Finebaum, etc - all truly insufferable douchebags. These guys are in the immediately change the channel group. I don’t see Cowherd in that same group.

I also listen to Dan Patrick in the car. Cowherd is no Dan Patrick, but he’s plenty listenable imo.

Quote

Actions, or in this case clothes, sometimes speak louder than words. On the final day of Donald Trump’s hush money criminal trial — in which a jury found the former president guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records — Emily Ratajkowski was spotted wearing a not-so-subtle statement shirt.

Snapped while taking a stroll in New York City, the model, writer and actor was seen wearing a graphic T-shirt printed with Stormy Daniels face (Daniels is the adult film star and director who was allegedly paid $130,000 by Trump to keep quiet about an affair ahead of the 2016 election). The $95 shirt was designed by cartoonist Robert Crumb and, according to the brand Platform, directly supports the New York based domestic violence and sexual assault organization, “Safe Horizon,” by donating a portion of its sales.

Icono is my brother, just like the most of the rest of you are... Sometimes our brothers say and do things we wouldn't say or do, and we can't quite understand why. 

Good thing for him, and for us, is Trump ain't gonna do shit aside from blow a few dollars.

And here’s my hot take: we’re lucky that Trump won in 2016. Yes, you read that right, stay with me here.
Trumpism, and the Christian white nationalist authoritarian movement, were like a deadly tumor growing inside our head. We (including me) tried for a long time to tell ourselves that the frequent headaches were normal, and hey, who DOESN’T have a seizure now and then?
Then, in 2016, we suffered a traumatic head injury. It required a full scan of our skull, to see everything that was going on. And holy shit, while we were just checking to see if there was a brain bleed or not, we discovered a giant brain tumor that is well on the way to killing us.
Will we be able to excise it? Will we survive this cancer? Who knows…yall know I’m not optimistic. But 2016 at least gave us a clear diagnosis and the info we need to pursue a path to treatment and hopefully a cure.
Is our body politic up for that? Jury is out. Things still look pretty grim. But at least we’re not in the dark about the nature and extent of our disease.

I respectfully disagree. The 2016 election resulted in a GOP supreme court and the overturn of roe v. wade. That will have terrible effects on women’s healthcare for the foreseeable future.

My 20-something brother-in-law is proudly “extremely right wing”. His idiot churchy wife got IVF, and they lost their baby when she was pregnant. This happened before roe v. wade was overturned. I listened to her tell of her heartbreak and couldn’t not think about how their voting was damaging her future reproductive healthcare.

this guy wrote a book called "detective jesus" where the messiah makes his long-promised return to Earth to become a homicide detective where he plays it straight but is thwarted by a corrupt detective descended from Pilate.  and now he claims that, as a police novel author, the defendant gets to sit it on jury deliberations---particularly after he threatened them and wanted to publicly out them.  That thing that Detective Lt. Jesus would have wanted.  But yeah, I'll go to church tomorrow to talk to Jesus and pretend like this is not a fucking insane computer simulation.  At least my wife's church doesn't have an intention devoted to Trump.  But who knows what tomorrow will bring?

I’m still trying to navigate my own feelings on the subject, but let me give you a rebuttal on this in two parts.

First, Roe didn’t settle the issue-it might very well be that the white nationalist movement would have picked another issue where the Venn diagram on white supremacy and male superiority didn’t overlap so well, but the forces that would oppose them have had 50 years to legislate or otherwise create a compelling counter-narrative to the evangelicals powering most of the rhetoric repeated by GOP politicians.  At some point progressives need to look in the mirror and admit we failed.

Second, there’s clearly institutional flaws in the way that government is organized and in the basic character of the body politic.  I’m not sure which is easier to cure, but most of our efforts have been on the latter (for example, liberals have presumed that increased levels of education, particularly among women, would have been a non-controversial policy to implement but it’s either the cause or correlative with a large drop in education for men and subsequent rightward shift among them).

I’m not nearly so pessimistic as @Brisketexan, but we’re definitely approaching a “you’ve got to break it to fix it” stage because the federal government (and now state governments) are doing a bad job of actually passing or implementing popular programs and/or improvements.  
 

Bringing it back to your post, I don’t know how you reach low information citizens without making them FEEL consequences, and good leaders are going to need to rally that emotion towards passing legislation that actually protects women’s body autonomy.

I doubt my brother-in-law and his idiot churchy Qanon wife have the ability to make the connection from voting for guns to a vote for trump and republican straight ticket leads to a GOP senate leads to a decades long push to tilt the supreme court to the GOP leads to an overturn of roe v. wade leads to states outlawing abortion leads to doctors being unable to perform necessary reproductive care when a woman miscarries.

In fact, by typing that all out I’m certain there is no way they could make that correlation.
