On this episode of Normally, Mary Katharine Ham and Karol Markowicz break down how the Super Bowl became yet another front in the culture wars—from the Bad Bunny halftime controversy to what it reveals about elite messaging, nationalism, and representation. The conversation expands into a sharp analysis of surveillance culture, sparked by a viral Ring camera commercial and Democrats’ sudden reversal on ICE body cameras. Why did mass surveillance go from “necessary accountability” to “dangerous overreach” overnight? MK & Karol also examine the accelerating collapse of trust in legacy media, including the Washington Post’s massive layoffs, journalism’s failures during COVID, and why audiences are increasingly turning elsewhere for information. Plus: blue-state governance failures, protest crackdowns, the political migration out of New York, and why “normie voters” are finally pushing back.
