I allowed that to happen to me to some extent during Trump's first term.

I have a lot of remorse about that because I think there are a lot of really great people in this country.

They voted for Trump.

It turns out, I don't care.

It doesn't matter who they voted for.

It doesn't say anything about who they are as people.

And more importantly, they're my fellow Americans who have participated in what makes this country great, which is our ability to,

to voice our support and cast our ballot for who we feel is best to represent us.

So I just think there's something kind of interesting happening in the country right now that gives me a little bit of optimism, gives me a little bit of hope.

People are starting to see beyond

partisanship and instead kind of understand, okay, wait a minute, we're all Americans.

It feels like a lot of the framing around partisan divides is completely manufactured and in fact is utilized by members of the media to divide us and to distract us from the fact that our government is not focused on taking care of us.

And so I just really wanna drive that point home.

Don't fall for the gross rhetoric.

Don't partake in it and try to see the humanity in everyone before you allow yourself to devolve into the very thing that you hate.

Now, I will say it's really hard for me to practice that when it comes to members of the IDF and Netanyahu in particular, but I think your message is the correct message.

Sure.

So about five years ago, Aaron Maté, who is a journalist and is actually doing a lot of really great work, especially in his coverage of what's happening in Gaza, had...

reported some things that i disagreed with in regard to what was happening in syria right so uh i he didn't deny that bashar al-assad had in some instances used chemical weapons but there was one particular instance that he was denying and i disagreed with him on that

Who's right?
