Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, November 13, 2025

Rod Dreher is an American writer who moved to Budapest in 2022 after becoming enamored with Orbn's brand of right-wing populism. On Monday, he published a lengthy essay on his Substack "diary" describing a sitdown he had with Orbn and JD Vance on Nov. 7 "in the vice president's study." According to Dreher, his time with Vance also included a discussion of "Groyperism" and what he described as the "new radicalism racing through the young" in Washington D.C. during this second Trump era. "The Groyper thing is real," Dreher later wrote in his post describing the meeting. "It is not a fringe movement, in that it really has infiltrated young conservative Washington networks to a significant degree."

... BrainDead is an American political satire science fiction[1][2][3] comedy-drama television series created by Robert and Michelle King.[4]

The series stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Laurel Healy, a documentary film-maker who takes a job working for her brother Luke (Danny Pino), a U.S. Senator, when the funding for her latest film falls through.

Assigned as his new constituency caseworker, she discovers that Washington, D.C. has been invaded by extraterrestrial insects which are eating the brains and taking control of people, including members of Congress and their staffers.

Much of the internal comedy of the series was that, in the altered reality of Washington, D.C. politics, only a few people noticed. ...



The episodes of the series often featured then candidate Trump speaking on TVs in the background of the scenes.

(wow, misspell episodes, and the spell-check suggestions are, ... interesting.)
