William Kory Amyx For Indiana

Tuesday night, we’re kicking things off with someone who isn’t afraid to challenge the status quo.

My first guest on Rent Free With Kory Amyx will be Blythe Potter for Indiana Secretary of State.

We’re talking elections, digital trust, misinformation, media, political polarization, and what happens when technology starts moving faster than the rules designed to govern it.

No canned consultant answers.
No cable news nonsense.
No manufactured outrage.

Just a real conversation about where Indiana is headed and the challenges we aren’t talking about nearly enough.

And yes, Beaky will almost certainly ask the questions everyone’s thinking but probably shouldn’t say out loud.

Tuesday, June 2
8:00 PM ET

Real Talk.
Real Truth.
Zero Filter.

I am extremely excited to announce that my first guest on the premiere episode of Rent Free With Kory Amyx will be Blythe Potter for Indiana Secretary of State! Tune in on Tuesday, June 2 at 8pm! I will be streaming our podcast live for everyone to see on Facebook, Twitter and Substack!

This is one episode you will not want to miss!

🚨New Episode Alert

Why does everything feel broken?

Not politically.

Humanly.

We’re more connected than ever, yet people seem lonelier.

We have unlimited information, yet people seem more confused.

We spend more time communicating than ever before, yet somehow we’re struggling to understand each other.

On Tuesday, June 9 at 8 PM, I’m sitting down with psychotherapist Michael Cole for a conversation about loneliness, social media, manipulation, mental health, relationships, and what he believes is really happening beneath the surface of modern life.

This isn’t a therapy session.

It’s a conversation about us.

Join us live.

Winning a Twitter or Facebook argument is not the same as winning an election. Several candidates still have yet to learn that.

The goal is not impressing the loudest people online.

The goal is improving people’s lives.

And those are two very different things.

“When activists start attacking potential allies over meaningless purity tests, they stop building coalitions and start building social clubs.”

Some Activist Are Becoming Their Own Worst Enemy If your entire political strategy can be derailed by a cartoon bird made with AI, maybe the problem is not the cartoon bird.

I think Brandon Allen raises a point a lot of Democrats, especially here in Indiana, need to actually sit with for a minute.

There is a huge difference between passion and persuasion. Between organizing and performance. Between building a coalition and building an online bubble where everybody already agrees with each other.

And honestly, I think we have seen way too much of the second one lately in some federal and statewide races.

That does not mean progressive ideas are the problem. They are not. Some of the biggest conversations happening right now around healthcare, wages, housing, corruption, labor rights, corporate greed, and digital manipulation are being pushed by people tired of waiting for the system to catch up.

But Indiana is still Indiana.

You are not going to build durable statewide victories here by treating everybody who disagrees with you like they are evil or morally beneath you. You are not going to grow a movement by making the acceptable circle smaller every six months. And you definitely are not going to connect with working people by talking like politics is an online sociology seminar instead of real life.

Most Hoosiers are exhausted right now.

People are trying to survive rising costs, stagnant wages, insane utility bills, housing pressure, healthcare costs, and a political culture that increasingly feels like social media warfare pretending to be civic engagement.

Trust me, I know exactly what that looks like. I spent nearly a decade exposing coordinated manipulation campaigns, propaganda networks, sock puppets, political theater, and algorithmic outrage before most people even realized how much of modern politics was being shaped by it.

Most voters are not looking for internet celebrities.
They are looking for adults.

People want seriousness. Competence. Stability. They want leaders who understand how government actually works and can talk to people outside their own ideological comfort zone without melting down.

That takes coalition-building.
It takes patience.
It takes discipline.
And honestly, it takes a little humility from everybody involved.

I have said this before and I will keep saying it:

Movements start dying the second they stop persuading people and start policing people.

Indiana Democrats do not need less energy. We need energy focused outward instead of constantly inward. We need to rebuild trust with voters who stopped believing anybody in politics actually understands what their lives look like.

That means less performative infighting.
Less online tribalism.
Less obsession with ideological branding.

And a lot more focus on whether we are actually improving people’s lives.

Because most voters do not care who won the latest argument online.

They want to know who can actually govern.

Todd Rokita is a glorified mall cop sitting in the Attorney General’s office who acts like Indiana’s biggest threat is somebody eating half a w**d gummy and watching Shrek too intensely.

This man patrols the state like a substitute teacher that got drunk on Facebook conspiracy pages and suddenly thinks he’s Batman.

Every surrounding state is modernizing, generating tax revenue, fixing roads, funding schools, and creating jobs while Todd is riding a metaphorical Segway through the Capitol yelling:
“NOT ON MY WATCH, HIPPIES.”

Brother, Indiana roads look like the opening scene of Mad Max. Utility bills are climbing through the roof. Healthcare costs are brutal. Working people are drowning.

But thank God Todd Rokita is standing guard outside an imaginary dispensary like Paul Blart: Culture War Division.

At this point the only thing tougher than Indiana potholes is the industrial-strength stick permanently lodged up Todd Rokita’s ass.

🚨 Indiana AG Todd Rokita wants to block federal ma*****na shift

Attorney General Todd Rokita really saw Indiana surrounded by legal cannabis states, watched Hoosiers drive across state lines handing billions of dollars to Michigan, Illinois, and Ohio… and said:

“You know what this state needs? More government telling adults what they can and can’t do.”

This man acts like somebody handed him the Infinity Gauntlet of moral panic.

Meanwhile Indiana roads look like a live-action Mario Kart level, utility bills are exploding, rural hospitals are struggling, teachers are underpaid, and wages lag behind half the country… but thank God Todd Rokita is protecting us from a gummy bear in Terre Haute.

Even Governor Mike Braun is openly signaling Indiana may need to adapt because pretending legalization doesn’t exist while every surrounding state cashes in is economically stupid.

But Rokita?
Todd is still out here fighting the War on W**d like it’s a direct sequel to Re**er Madness.

The funniest part is Indiana conservatives spent years screaming about “state rights” and “government overreach” until somebody mentioned ma*****na. Suddenly Todd turns into the HOA president of human happiness.

This is the same state government that will let corporations nickel-and-dime the s**t out of working Hoosiers, but if somebody wants an edible after a 60-hour work week? Oh now suddenly we need government intervention. What the actual f*ck?

Todd Rokita always looks like a guy one bad Applebee’s review away from launching a federal investigation.

And at this point Indiana Republicans have become that person standing outside the party yelling:
“YOU GUYS BETTER NOT HAVE TAX REVENUE, JOB GROWTH, OR REGULATED PRODUCTS IN THERE.”

While Michigan quietly builds roads with our money.

At this point Todd looks less like an Attorney General and more like a mall cop patrolling the food court for suspicious brownies.

Hey Todd, schedule the prostate exam already and while you’re there ask the doctor if they can remove whatever industrial-grade stick has been lodged up your ass since 1998.

If people actually wanted to stop data centers, half the internet would suddenly become amateur botanists overnight.

‘Oh wow. Crazy coincidence. An entire field of protected endangered plants appeared exactly where the billion-dollar project was supposed to go.’

The FBI agent reading this:
‘Please tell me these people are joking.’

For legal reasons, Rent Free would like to clarify:
Go protest.
Go organize.
Go raise hell at zoning meetings.

Do not become Poison Ivy with a nonprofit registration.
