Welcome to Filter Feeders! 🗳️🧐🎭
In this edition of Filter Feeders, Ollie and Vinny throw caution (and filters) to the wind to tackle the chaos surrounding Trump’s re-election. From emotional reactions to global implications, they’re diving deep, ranting responsibly, and asking the big questions:
- “Why is everyone so obsessed with America when we live in the internet?” and...
- “Is it time to start stocking up on canned goods... or tanning oil?”
Expect candid reflections, some healthy emotional unpacking, and even a bit of self-deprecating humor as they navigate the political circus that is modern democracy. Whether you’re democrat, republican, or don't man, we are here to commiserate, celebrate, or simply make sense of it all.
