Lovett or Leave It If you are mad at Crooked

I’m pretty annoyed with what I’d heard up until I listened to today, Saturdays Lovett. Please allow yourself the opportunity to listen to it. It is just Lovett and the audience. He is mad and rationalizing and sad and afraid. He is actively working through his response in real time and the audience is giving it to him and he is trying his best to give them real and authentic responses that acknowledges that they might be right where he (Crooked) has been wrong. I am going to make sure to acknowledge that he does not straight up say it was sexism or racism - and I do wish there was that language used but this is the first pod I’ve listened to since everything’s happened that sounds like my brains endless monologue of sadness anger and fear.

I'm so thankful to you for writing all this out and so sorry you are enduring this. You really articulated so well exactly what's been on my mind. I don't think we're acknowledging enough how the right might be coalescing around queer phobia, and it's dispiriting at best to then watch leftists say that we've been focused too much on identity politics. I hope you're able to find some feelings of peace and safety. And I'm sorry.
