Ignore Trump’s Speech. Watch the Gaslit Nation Salon Instead [TEASER]

Instead of watching Trump’s speech tonight, watch Monday’s Gaslit Nation Salon on July 14 – Bastille Day! Here’s an excerpt. You can watch the full recording by joining our community of listeners on Patreon.com/Gaslit or GaslitNation.Substack.com. We had a lively discussion of Lindsey Graham’s sudden death, how Russians see themselves as meat for the meatgrinder, and more.

Trump’s North Korean propaganda speech tonight is meant to strongarm Republicans into passing the Trad Wife Act — (a.k.a. the Save Act), suppressing the votes of millions of people, especially married women who will be forced to show their birth certificates to vote if they changed their last names for marriage. It would also of course target anyone who changed their names, including trans people. It’s bad all around, so bad that even many Republicans can’t bring themselves to support it. They know the ripple effect will be a last straw for the powder keg that is the United States during this time of political violence in a slow-moving Civil War.

Join our community of listeners and get bonus shows, ad free listening, group chats with other listeners, ways to shape the show, invites to exclusive events like our Monday political salons at 4pm ET over Zoom, and more! Discounted annual memberships are available. Become a Democracy Defender at Patreon.com/Gaslit or GaslitNation.Substack.com
