He loves that you can start an illegal war and make tons of people rich and send people
Americans into harm's way and that it'll barely be a blip on people's radar.
He loves that we can engage in record levels of corruption and get away with it.
And so in that statement, it's less about the acknowledgement of the reality, but it's that his vision for the future is exactly the same and that your life won't change if so long as he's in charge.
I think that...
When I first came in, it was during the first Trump administration.
And what so many people wanted was to stop the chaos and to bring us back to where we were.
And I think that, you know, that was a huge part of what unified the country in electing President Biden is this idea of restoring the soul of America.
I think we're now in a new time.
And I think there is greater recognition of the brokenness that led to President Trump in the first place, which is that this growing inequality yields to authoritarianism and that economic instability and the collapse of democracy are intertwined.
And I think back then,
a lot of what I was maligned for and told was extreme is now almost seen as quite common wisdom.
These billionaires like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk and all of these folks that have been supercharging the corruption of this administration, dismantling the very foundations of democracy, have proven that you cannot have extreme levels of income inequality and a functioning, thriving democracy at once.
We have to choose.
And
The good news in that is that making the lives of working class Americans better means that our democracy gets stronger.
And I think that is what our focus needs to be.
But I do think that that will require a choice in a system that is controlled by big money and dominated by large donors.
I think that...
many people will have to make a difficult decision to walk away from and limit and rein in the excesses of a campaign finance system that wants to purchase Congress.
