I, like many others, cannot stand the sound of her uncle's voice. I go so far out of my way not to hear it, that when progressive podcasters and talk show hosts play clips of him, I turn it off, skip it, pause it, etc. But last night I witnessed the most brilliant idea I've seen yet that allows someone to play clips of him without making my stomach turn. She sped the clip up to the point that he sounded like a chipmunk! OMG it was so freakin awesome! Although his words were still disgusting, and there's still the issue of the image of him (which you can protect yourself from in several ways), the sound of it was so comedic that it made it listenable. I urge any progressive podcaster and/or talk show host that plans to play clips of him going forward to follow her example and do similar things to alter his voice so you won't lose your audience.

(163 posts)This post is simply about the idea of altering his voice. If you don't like other things she does, that's not only valid, but expected. You're not going to agree with everything that any particular person does. But republicans don't do this. They don't allow the things they disagree on to prevent them from rallying behind the things they do agree on. But on our side, many will push aside an idea that just might work, because they don't agree with everything the person that brought the idea does. And in my opinion, we don't have that luxury given the horrific situation we find ourselves in.
We need all the help and ideas we can get. And we need to find a way to embrace those that are brave enough to speak out against this administration, under the real threat of personal harm. Because of his minions, she is at risk, regardless of what her motivations are. And she knows that and somehow continues to speak out against him. You may disagree, but in my opinion we need her and everyone else that has the courage to do so.
