I grew up in I grew up a lot of places.
I moved around a lot, but high school in Rochester, Minnesota.
And so I always tell people that's where the Mayo Clinic is.
It's this weird two worlds where you have like rural Minnesota versus like top scientists in the world.
And so thankfully, I did not go to high school or college during this time.
Because I truly cannot imagine what kids are going through these days.
it was hard enough, you know, with like, Obama days, and just wondering, yeah, what was going on in people's minds.
And like, it just felt so much more actual politics back then, right?
People are like, I'm fiscally conservative.
And you're like, well, that makes sense.
And so, yes, I think those days were still, you know, I would battle like I've, you know, been a liberal since birth, would battle with people, but it definitely did not feel that
crazy until 2016.
When it was like, that was probably the first time I cried about politics and was like, wait, what just happened?
Like, you know, and, and then it still just kind of, I made a video yesterday.
I don't know if you guys saw it about kind of the shift in anger, because so many of us are like, we've had this anger for the past decade and it suddenly feels like
worse, more just personal.
And you're like, yeah.
So I had said, you know, I think it's because we're seeing everything happen that we warned was going to happen.
