The Mad Centrist
"A sane person to an insane society must appear insane." ― Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Not Mad as in Angry, Mad as in Insane.
And in an insane world, the sane are simply Mad. I am The Mad Centrist.
You can be too!
The Mad Centrist podcast is a middle ground, pragmatic, politically polite, and irreverently independent show. Pulling the rug out from beneath Democrats and Republicans alike, while respecting democrats and republican citizens (the distinction between Party and people is critical!). Amusing anecdotes of the crazy world we find ourselves in, how to maybe get along better, and pull the world back towards sanity, and do so while having some fun!

TMC - Episode 60: Conspiracies (Q)Anonymous
In the throes of COVID-19 a movement gained power. A silly on, but still, Q Anon grew unexpectedly.
In hindsight it would be laughable that it ever happened, except for the damage done to our nation, and families and individuals.
Now we have a poor-man's "Q" trying similar tactics when everyone is much wiser, and a pandemic is not keeping us inside in front of screens anymore.
A Substack post of ludicrous nature attempts to start the crazy all over and fails.
The dubious Substack in question: Ex-CIA Whistleblower: "The NSA Audited The 2024 Election, Kamala Harris Won"
The Snopes article pouring cold water on it: Inspecting report on ex-CIA whistleblower who allegedly said NSA audit proved Harris won 2024 election | Snopes.com
The really good case study tearing it apart: The Zarnowski File: A Case Study in Live Disinformation
Wikipedia (why not?) on Apophenia: Apophenia - Wikipedia
Lastly, the really cool episode on political bias: episode #5, Bias in Politics
The political podcast for everyone!
