“The inflatable man.” Meg has been using this metaphor for a while and I thought maybe there was an essay or a newsletter in it, but once I shot this footage I decided to make a weird little something out of it

How do we build a counter movement that will not be subverted by the MAGA insanity? Pinker and McWhorter are on target, but we need lager numbers in colleges and universities. My only optimism is that my gen Z kids seem to be moving rightward in larger numbers than the Millennials. But we have to nourish them to be more than just reactionaries simply opposed to the excesses and downright anti-liberal creepiness of the Millenials. If Gen Z goes MAGA it is game over and the war will be between fascists on the right v fascists on the left. Pray.
