Welcome to the Ogre Nation anyway! Even as Trump’s popularity collapses and his own base begins to abandon him, the regime is still full steam ahead on its eugenics program. Because genocidal monsters don’t care what the public thinks. They will mindlessly pursue their agenda of mass murder until they are dragged from power and charged with crimes against humanity. It’s up to us to make sure that happens. #NurembergThemAll Ogre Nation News Update! 2:40 - 15:14 The regime is trying to strip the disabled of their rights. Pure eugenics through policy. 15:15 - 27:10 The Reflecting Pool fiasco is a ridiculous microcosm of Trump’s entire shitty regime. 27:11 - 39:10 Welp! We told you some stuff was going to happen, and now it has.

Welcome to the Ogre Nation anyway! This is it, Ogre Nation. Lila’s last time on the podcast before she heads off to her big, new, exciting life at college. As excited as I am for her, I am also going to miss the sweet, funny, and silly little girl who has been such an integral part of my life for the last decade. But before she rides off into the sunset, we had to record one final Lila Explains for you, our beloved audience. This episode is about depression and anxiety. I wanted to talk about this with Lila because she has struggled with both for a long time, and now that I’ve had a firsthand peek inside that world, I wanted to compare notes. We think you’ll find it interesting and very sappy because by the end, we get pretty mushy. But hey, she’s my daughter, I love her, and I’m sad to see her go, so you’ll just have to come along for the ride. Just a side note, the phrase I forgot at 18:33 is “abandonment issues” because I am dumb. This is a song from Cowboy Bebop, one of my favorite anime, and it really captures my mood these days. Very bittersweet. Get full access to The Opinionated Ogre at opinionatedogre.substack.com/subscribe [https://opinionatedogre.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4]
