In a wide-ranging episode about the various culture wars, Alabama Liberal investigates if “Cancel” culture is even real, campus culture is really out of control, police culture is the real problem, and the vast differences in how different cultures are tackling CoVid. By looking at factors that supposedly created Trump (backlash to political correctness), he…
Truths that Republicans Must Accept to Become Happy
—That they are not under attack. The country has just shifted from their values and quietly moved on without them. But being (willingly) left behind is not the same thing as being attacked. —That they (primarily white people) are not just as threatened as minorities. And also… —That they are under no real threat from minorities. —That Trump’s support…
Who is the Closest to Being the Real Life Lex Luthor?
While there’s a lot of good candidates (the Koch Brothers, for example), I think the three top choices are…Trump, Jeff Bezos, and Vladimir Putin. Trump…He’s the most obvious and top candidate. A lot of people like Lex Luthor and can’t see how evil he is no matter how many times Superman catches him doing something…
Raising the Minimum Wage (Obviously) Helps the Economy
The dynamic around raising the minimum wage has been “it’s the right thing to do for people” vs. “it’s the wrong thing to do for the economy” since forever, but it’s actually the right thing for both. Businesspeople only look at raising the minimum wage as “but I have to pay 25% more in labor…
Bubba Takes Trump’s Loss Hard
Not even Bubba’s beloved Crimson Tide winning another National Championship (suck it Yale!) can lift his spirits in a world where Trump has left office (allegedly!) and one of the women from “Black Panther” has become Vice President. In Biden’s socialist dystopia, he’s in a bonafide funk
Trump’s Base Will Turn on Him
By using the personal example of Bush’s cult evaporating, Alabama Liberal explains that Trump’s base will forget him and eventually whisper that he was never really “one of them” anyway…if only Republican leaders and the media would let them.
Episode 80–What’s the Future of the Republican Party?
In a wide-ranging episode, Alabama Liberal moves through topics from Alabama football to abuse at minimum wage jobs, and asks (and answers) some questions like “Why did Trump want to stay POTUS anyway?” “Will he live much longer?” “Will his base turn on him?” “What direction will the Republicans take now?” And even his predictions…
Three Things That Can Help Unity and Healing This Nation
The themes of Biden’s inauguration were (essentially) compassion, competency, and healing the very real divisions that Trump spent four years exacerbating. But can real unity be achieved? It never has been before (infighting has been around since the days of Adams and Jefferson or the fatal duel of Hamilton and Burr), but things could certainly…
Of Course, MLK Jr. Would Be a Democrat Today
It was quite strange to see all of the “Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wouldn’t support today’s Democratic Party” tweets and postings on MLK Day, especially since it was only a few days before the Inauguration of Joe Biden and a couple of weeks after Neo-confederates received clear Republican backing to try to decapitate congress….
Episode 79–W.O.A.T.
Alabama Liberal will give you one hint as to what “Worst of all Time” is referring to…Then, he does a deep dive into Biden’s victory and impending inauguration, Trump’s shameless attempts to steal the election, if the media will be able to let Trump go, how surprising it is that “evil” tech companies are taking…

Even if very few movies received a wide theatrical release this year, that doesn’t mean there were any less movies to watch or that there was even that much of a difference in quality. Here now, Alabama Liberal’s annual countdown of the year’s movies from worst to best… The Worst Movie of 2020: “Antebellum”…There were…
Best TV Series of 2020
If you live in an area that was locked down, watching TV was about all there was to do in 2020. Luckily, there were more TV shows than ever to watch, and at least a few dozen of them were pretty good. [And for the first time ever, this year’s list is compromised entirely from…
TV’s Best Moments of 2020
A TV “moment” could be a scene, an arc, or an entire episode. Ultimately, these are just TV sequences that stuck out in my mind this year. Best Action Sequences on “ZeroZeroZero”…Some of the best action sequences of the year took place on this frustrating Amazon Prime series involving the complications of an international cocaine…
