34 - September 1 in Texas - Everything Sucks
<p>In Episode 34 behind the Secret Door, we catch up with Frances and Alicia and discuss all the recent laws that went into effect in Texas on 9/1/2021.</p> <p>The duo kick off with discourse about Greg Abbott’s mask mandate policies in schools and how that’s impacting their own kids. Is the Delta variant impacting your area hard? Texas certainly is handling their outbreaks with, you guessed it, Ivermectin. Good news—perhaps more Conservatives coming out about getting the vaccine will push vaccination rates in the right direction!</p> <p>As of September 1st, open carry gun laws have been passed. Second Amendment organizations have pressured these particular laws to go through, causing stress on law enforcement and civilians.</p> <p>The 6-week abortion bans have also passed through Texas legislature, barring any pregnant person the opportunity to terminate a pregnancy after a fetal heartbeat is detected. Alicia and Frances discourse on the complexities of this hot-button issue.</p> <p>What are your thoughts on Darwinism? Are you prepared for the gun-slinging wild west of Texas policies? Tell us your thoughts on abortions and legislature surrounding them.</p> <p>You can comment, email, or message Alicia and Frances to share with them your opinions and ideas.</p> <p>You can reach Alicia and Frances at:</p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/secretdoortotheleft/"><u>Secret Door to the Left on Facebook</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/secretdoorttl/"><u>@secretdoorttl on Instagram</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/SecretDoorTTL"><u>@SecretDoorTTL on Twitter</u></a></p> <p><a href="mailto:secretdoortotheleft@gmail.com"><u>secretdoortotheleft@gmail.com</u></a></p> <p>Episode edited/mixed by Mikayla Elias for <a href="https://twitter.com/crybabyaudiotn?lang=en"><u>@crybabyaudiotn </u></a></p>

33 - Preppin'
<p><strong>In Episode 33 behind the Secret Door, Alicia and Frances cover prepping for all kinds of situations.</strong></p> <p><strong>After spending a few minutes catching up with each other and discussing the finer points of minivan life, the pair start with a discussion on Rand Paul’s accusations against Dr. Fauci and the “dangers” of vaccines. With more conservative influencers speaking up about getting the vaccine, the tides may be turning in the race for herd immunity. But we won’t hold our breath.</strong></p> <p><strong>Next up is a discussion on the January 6th Commission. Nancy Pelosi has put together a group of representatives in order to assess the insurrection on January 6th, and she shut down radical conservatives trying to derail the commission. However, this means that she will have limited conservative representation. Will Trump zealots therefore respect their findings?</strong></p> <p><strong>Then, Frances takes the lead on an in-depth discussion of Prepping - what it is, why it’s needed, and how to do it. Natural disasters and infrastructure failures prompt planning thoughts. Frances shares her thoughts on rational prepping versus extremist prepping and Alicia discusses her day-to-day prep and her dream prep for when the shit goes down. The two then take a deep dive on prepper culture!</strong></p> <p><strong>Come birding with Alicia and Frances and talk prep for the end of all things! What did you learn from Scouting? Are you concerned with the way your representatives are handling disaster infrastructure? Do you have special terms for the apocalypse?</strong></p> <p><strong>You can comment, email, or message Alicia and Frances to share your opinions and ideas.</strong></p> <p><strong>You can reach Alicia and Frances at:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/secretdoortotheleft/"><u><strong>Secret Door to the Left on Facebook</strong></u></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/secretdoorttl/"><u><strong>@secretdoorttl on Instagram</strong></u></a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/SecretDoorTTL"><u><strong>@SecretDoorTTL on Twitter</strong></u></a></p> <p><a href="mailto:secretdoortotheleft@gmail.com"><u><strong>secretdoortotheleft@gmail.com</strong></u></a></p> <p><strong>Episode edited/mixed by Mikayla Elias for @crybabyaudiotn</strong></p>
