Overton window

You needed to knock down a wall, shift a wall, move the sand.

Do you want to talk about the Overton window? Because the way that we use Overton windows seems pretty closely related to that.

Why don't you go ahead and explain

that? Yeah, so the technical use of Overton Window has to do with political trends is not the right word.

The public's, where the public is politically, the term is Overton Window.

That's why I'm like, what's the word for this? Oh, it's the thing I'm trying to define.

So I always use gay marriage as an example.

There's some French term that's really handy here, which is different time, different thoughts.

well i mean the old school sense of humor i'm i'm still flipping through the playboy uh joke book yeah here's one of the things they included all girls are born good experience makes them better now what the fuck what a crazy thing to that's not it's not a joke it's not interesting it's just like this bizarre like wisdom and by the way guys fellas if these girl i mean it's a little if they're born if they're born just just wait just wait they're gonna get even better yep

the bernie bro accidentally slammed his penis in the overton window I

remember that I really wanted to write a joke about a Bernie bro.

And then I think Overton Window really made that one clever as fuck.

Oh wait, I remember this one that Derek wrote that I really love.

I think this is Derek's.

It's part of how social change occurs.

Now, that shifting range is now referred to as the Overton window.

But since I started studying conspiracy stories, I've seen the Overton window move in some alarming and disturbing directions.

Behavior that once would have been considered bullying or cruel or narcissistic or even psychopathic has been normalized.

Ideas that would have been dismissed as fringe nonsense now get privileged airtime in the shared space.

And the challenge is that because you live in an insane world, you think you're normal, when in fact you're insane and insanity has become the norm.

There's a thing called the Overton window, if you don't know what that is.

And that's basically what is generally accepted in society, and it moves.

every decade or so in certain different directions in certain different areas.

Instead of being like, holy fuck, the Republicans are defending child molesters? Holy fucking, I got to get the, I got to reevaluate my whole life.

That's the correct response if you're Insane.

But if you've moved with the Overton window, this insanity window, if you're living in the insane world, you're like, Democrats, you're insane.

If you don't believe me, go back and watch.

Good morning, Vic head patriots from Bill.

Once we're done exposing the lie that what the left says about the tax breaks for the rich and the fair share, can we talk about the carve-out type and progressive nature of what we're doing? The Overton window is a...

Yo, I can...
