When you chose in 2024, you chose someone who had broken the law in multiple ways, and you knew it. You chose someone who sought to overthrow the results of the election of 2020, and you knew it. So you were choosing someone who you knew to be lawless, who you knew had disdain for American institutions.

And I think that the people who made that decision are going to have a lot of trouble backtracking, moving back on it. There are lots of commentary now about Trump did this or that. Are the people who voted for him going to be sorry now?

And I think it's going to be a long time before they're sorry, because they made this intellectual commitment to something that was against many of the things that they stood for, They had to justify it to themselves in many different ways. We just talked about one of them because, you know, Biden is corrupt, whatever. And now it's going to be very hard to turn around and say that was wrong.

You know, it's going to be, you know, they will stick to this. They will stand by it. They will find new reasons to support Trump precisely because it was such a bad choice and precisely because they had to overcome their own internal doubts and precisely because they know he broke the law and precisely because they know he He has disdain for things that they say that they value.

And so I worry that it's going to be very hard to make up with them at some point in the future.

The feeling of losing things and the understanding that something is slipping away can be a very dramatic, it can galvanize people to resist. That's true. And you can hear in the national conversation, I even, I had a conversation with Anis yesterday, and I've talked to a lot of other younger people, they feel and understand that something is wrong and that something is being lost.

And they are beginning now to reorient themselves to think about how they protect it or how they save it or how they change the country in ways that make sure it doesn't happen again. I mean, it may be that You know, certainly, as we've been discussing, there has been a long slide in this direction.
