The “25 Best TV Shows of This Century” How I Chose Them and Runner-Ups
Before I get to the countdown of the “25 Best TV Shows of This Century” Alabama Liberal explains the methodology of how they were chosen, which shows were ineligible, and a few runner-ups he wished he could’ve included.
The Best Sci-Fi Movies of the 2010s
In the 2010s, it seemed like science-fiction (and fantasy) dominated movies, and it was sometimes hard to find wide-release movies that weren’t sci-fi. So being the “best” at what was–by far–the most popular genre of movies is no small feat. It would be a little bit like being the “best” Western movies of the 1950’s…
Episode 82–A Tale of Two Counties: Orange, CA and Marshall, AL
In the last part of his trilogy looking at the future, present, and now past of the culture wars, AL makes some surprising discoveries about two seemingly unrelated counties: Orange County, California (which went from famously red to blue…ish) and Marshall County, Alabama (which did the opposite) where a surprising number of Alabama state leaders…
If Republicans Only Care About G.I.A. (Guns, Immigration, Abortion), Political Correctness, and Taxes–They’re Basically little Kids
“How can we understand a Republican mindset?” It’s not hard to figure out… Guns, immigration, abortion, political correctness, and taxes. Other than absolutely ludicrous conspiracy theories, these are the only five things I ever see Republicans talk about (they love the first one and they hate the other four). It’s tiresome, if I’m being honest….
Episode 81–The Culture Wars: “Cancel,” Campus, CoVid, Police, and More
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…
