I think... There's some people who have already started in the privacy of their own homes to think about that. I think there are diehards who are going to be with him because they think that he's Wizard of Oz behind the curtain and there's some grand plan.

What was interesting to me was actually a couple weeks ago, I was pumping gas at a gas station and the truck next to me had a Trump sticker on it. And the guys pumping gas next to me were throwing trash in the trash can and everything and And they said, oh, we recognize you and, you know, we know who you are and everything. And they were still definitely pro-Trump guys.

And, you know, it's Michigan, so we get along. It's still very cordial and respectful. And we kind of ended the conversation. I'm still pumping my gas. They came back around and one of them said, you know, I will say I voted for more money in my pocket, not this yo-yo shit on tariffs. Yeah. Right. And and that to me, again, if there's an election tomorrow, does that guy continue to vote for Trump?

Maybe. But they're they're voicing to a Democrat at a gas station.

They would say it's too soon to tell, right? They would say, I still think that there's a grace period, right? And a lot of my guys who are union members will tell me, like, there's a grand plan. And so you can't figure out a grand plan, Alyssa, in 100 days, they would say to me, right? So I think that we're in this wait and see kind of period. And he's going to have to own his policies.

And by the way, Democrats are going to have to make him own his policies. This is what I'm talking about, about having a stronger defense, you know, as well as an offense. Right. We need to show people what the Trump administration is doing and make it real to them. And we can't speak in percentages and we can't speak in talking points.

Again, this is about priorities. If people hear us talking about... identity issues 80% of our time and the economy 20% of the time. That's just not where the public is in a state like mine. That's just not. It's not that people don't have sympathy, right? I grew up in a gay home. My mom came out in suburban Detroit in 1986. We hit it.

I got all the way through high school without anyone knowing, right? It was a different time. So you're not going to find someone who feels more strongly about gay rights and about, you know, she died before gay marriage was legal. And I went through, you know, the pain of like having to, the hospital having to allow her partner to make decisions even though they weren't legally married, right?
