Because Jen and Carolyn are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, we decided to focus this episode exclusively on the “colorful” cornucopia that comprises the ladies of the MAGA movement. While some are loud and proud, willing to flagrantly vape and engage in sex acts in public, others, like Ginni Thomas, make moves more insidiously. While they all differ slightly, there’s one thing they’re united on-they want the US to be a pilar of Christian Nationalism. So, get ready to be zapped by Jewish space lasers because we’re going to tell you all about the scary comments and contributions made by these ultra-conservative “ladies” who want nothing more than for the US to become a Christian Nationalist State.
