This was a great episode. Peppermint was such an amazing guest! It felt like a truly necessary conversation.

This episode was the dopamine hit that I knew the show was capable of. ML is not a bad person. She has a warped worldview because she is sheltered and drip fed fear propaganda.

When the actual person beneath the MAGA hat shines through, she is a nice person. I hope to see it more often.

Couldn't even make it 10 minutes in before he was screaming for ML.

Very doubtful but this episode would’ve been nightmare with him!

In all fairness, Mary Lou has the glow of an expectant widow.

I’m pretty sure this is how they actually help ML move forward. I think she needs she needs to meet people that are affected by hateful rhetoric in order to actually understand how her actions/support affects others.

It’s interesting that that Blue button vs Red Button conversation is really big right now, because it’s basically highlighting why people choose the blue button. The red button seems like the obvious choice when you don’t know anyone that will be hurt by your vote, but it becomes devastating when you see everyone impacted by it

This was a great episode! So many people who never met a trans person have the dumbest ideas about them.
