In this week's South Dakota Department of Propaganda podcast, we dive deep into the riveting topics of LGBTQ+ safety rankings, the thrilling world of primary election turnout, the nail-biting drama of Trump's guilty verdict, the riveting controversy surrounding Governor Kristi Noem's book, and the edge-of-your-seat suspense of voter opposition to pipeline projects. It's a rollercoaster of emotions as we navigate the treacherous waters of South Dakota politics, where the only thing more dangerous than a low voter turnout is a pipeline project in the wrong hands.
