00:02You know, it's good to laugh at this kind of stuff because unfortunately, a lot of this
00:08stuff is real. Because, unfortunately, common sense is no longer common. But, here it is.
00:20Check it out.
00:22Why don't we go around the group and share one fun fact about ourselves.
00:26I'll go first. I'm a recovering liberal and I'm six months sober.
00:30Wow. That is...
00:31I haven't wished death on anyone at all, actually.
00:35Okay. Wasn't expecting that.
00:37I too am a recovering liberal and I'm artistic. That I was expecting.
00:42But, nothing wrong with it. God chose special people just like you to have superpowers.
00:47You know what my favorite show is? Love on the Spectrum.
00:51I think he said artistic. Oh.
00:54My name's Nick Peterson and I'm the founder of Liberals Anonymous.
00:58I started this with the hopes of chipping away at the mental health crisis in America.
01:03I figured I'd start by putting flyers around the neighborhood on houses with flags.
01:07Lucky guess.
01:09Last week, I had a conservative garage sale, but nobody showed up.
01:13Probably all busy prosecuting nobody. Or on the phone with Mitch McConnell.
01:18Welcome, everyone. I will be leading you on this life-changing journey to recovery.
01:23Uh, nobody asked my pronouns when I came in.
01:26Right. Because we left that nonsense in the past.
01:30Along with his friends Trust the Science and Latinx.
01:34But I see you all have still managed to shoehorn that in.
01:38I have a question. What qualifies you to run this?
01:40Good question. A brain.
01:42Why are we meeting in your garage? Apple started in a garage. Amazon. Google. Garage.
01:52We are meeting in a garage because the local churches said no.
01:57Apparently, I am not qualified to lead what they said sounds like an exorcism.
02:02I have another question.
02:04All right. Shoot.
02:05Uh, point of privilege. I am triggered by the unintended tone aggression of the word shoot.
02:11Nobody cares.
02:12Well, dismantling offensive language begins with awareness.
02:15In my lived experience, systemic microaggressions do include violent speech.
02:20Good gosh. Y'all had to be a bunch of lunch money generators.
02:25Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.
02:30And that's what I grew up on.
02:32These window lickers are called the wrong pronoun and they're on psych meds the rest of their lives.
02:35In this group, we'll be focusing on the four basic truths or Pony.
02:40Put facts before feelings.
02:42Other people's money is not yours.
02:45Nobody needs to know what we do in the bedroom, especially children.
02:51And you're not a victim.
02:54I am actually a victim of climate injustice.
02:58You are a victim.
