when Katie said Karoline is 27 years old my jaw dropped to the floor. Bigotry really will age the hell out of you.

My dad is a prof at a lib arts college. There ARE conservatives in academia. Also, I went to Baylor (oh boy) and the first writing assignment in freshman English was “Is the Bible fallible?” I had not yet drunk the Baptist Kool-aid and answered with a well-researched and cited “Duh.” I received the first and only C in my entire A+ English education. 🙄

This was such a small part of the episode, but Caro shitting on D2 athletics under her breath SENT. ME. 💀💀💀(I say this as someone who regularly has to bite her tongue from shitting on D2/D3 athletics when someone expects me to be impressed.)

I guess, since there’s the whole “purity for the love of the game” aspect since there aren’t scholarships. But boy oh boy do men want you to be impressed when they’ve played football at any level. Sorry, my dude, but you gotta be part of the Power Four to get me to care. I’m a snob. And I know that’s not about K-K-Karoline, but men ruin everything and so ruined my perception of D2/D3 athletes.

(And yes, I attended a Power Four school and didn’t do shit other than work a million jobs and take a million credits so I could get outta there without millions in debt and so I am absolutely just a judgmental bitch.)

I believe all the outrage, conspiracy, constant high-stress high-stakes emotional panic is already actively becoming boring for MAGA folks. I would argue it's why they've been so adamant about being invited into progressive spaces, whether for "debate" or even the woman who wore the dumb hat to a Gay Bar just so she could film herself crying about being kicked out. And even those moments are MAYBE a week of fame for 'owning the libs' before it's forgotten forever. The problem with surviving off of heinous anger is you can't ever stop pushing the button to get your fix. And as progressive spaces become more protective of themselves for survival, the only way to feed the fix is by all standing in a circle agreeing on something but still yelling about how you agree. Which I think everyone at some basic level agrees is not only boring but also embarrassing. Like congratulations y'all won, and now have fun hanging out with a bunch of people who can't even go to the grocery store without finding something to be outraged about, that sounds so fun for you.

The denouement of this episode is the hopecore I needed to hear. Thank you for this epic “bad faith shit talking hit piece.” Kendrick would be proud of you, ladies.
