Hi David and Jon, first of all, THANK YOU for making these last months bearable with your podcast....my fiancé and I love it, are patreon members and are now banned. David, your "cancel culture discourse" song was in the first episode we heard (our friend introduced us to the show around then), and it was the moment I knew this podcast was for me... we still sing "Adam Carolla bring it on, and Matt Taibbi bring it on" around the house.

That said, let's engage in some cancel culture discourse. Starlee made a great point recently that Trump seems to be uncancellable. Do you agree? Will he be effectively cancelled if he loses and moves away? What about all his fans though, will they still clamor for more Trump in the form of a TV show or...something? Do you think that will be harmful for the country's ability to move on, or maybe it has to happen? The magnitude of what Trump has done is mind-boggling compared to someone like Al Franken, who totally disappeared. How can we cancel Trump?! Please help.

Did you watch the whole movie? There is a scene near the end where he prepares to "unveil" and says in the mirror, practicing "I'm a fake and I just did this to make you all look like idiots" - he's clearly feeling very bad about it and realizing what he got himself into. That's a big part of the last third of the movie.

Great points...yeah, like if your whole brand is to be shocking, there's no line that you can cross to be cancelled because there's never a sudden moment of disconnect with your public persona. And re: Ivanka and Jared, that's totally scary - we definitely have to prevent their reputations from being rehabilitated after this! Thanks for answering.
