We don't have to have the same views about everything, but there are these kind of basic values that we share. And I've discovered that that's not true. And I find it now difficult to deal with people who now live in this other reality.

And the thing I'm most afraid of now is that once you made the decision to vote for Trump in 2024, especially in 2016, it was different because you could be, we didn't really know what kind of president he was going to be. It could have been a protest. You didn't like Hillary Clinton, whatever. There were reasons why people did it.

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.
