2022 CPC Leadership Discussion: Et tu Redeux

[The Bread Guy]

At the end of the episode, Jesse and his guest host (a teacher and Tik Toker Frank Domenic) go on this odd tangent on how conservatives are able to make fun of themselves (ala Jeff Foxworthy). I'm still trying to figure out what they were getting at. Is it a bad thing that conservatives have inside jokes? Are lefties that puritan that they are unable or unwilling to laugh at themselves?

I haven't listened to this episode yet, but given Jesse's general proclivities, I suspect it's the latter. Could be an extension of the "the left can't meme" thing, maybe.

Lefties only make fun of righties. How dare you try to make fun of (pick a left winger)!!!

Put this here instead of in the rail strike thread so the politics involved can be discussed.

Interesting approach on the railway labour situation ....

Conservatives maintain silence as strife continues between union, railways

As rail workers push back on the Liberal government's effort to end a labour dispute, the federal Conservatives remain silent on the strife that poses a major threat to Canada's economy.

Also Jesse puts a plea to future Jesse that he is not a person that should be named to the Senate (re: Charles Adler and the unmentioned Mike Duffy)

I wasn’t expecting “lefties” and “puritan” in the same sentence…
