Go ahead, sorry.
Okay, it's going to, I think, be a lot worse than that.
The problem, yeah, the problem is, I would start with, you know, as the saying goes, like, who's we Kimisabe, right?
Like, you know, the old Tonto.
I mean, it's a really old reference, but who's we Kimisabe?
Yeah, that's why I said it might be so old you guys don't get it.
But let's start with who's we, right?
Democrats and Republicans.
This is from almost 10 years ago.
This is 2017.
And it showed that Democrats and Republicans have come apart on social media.
They weren't friends with each other anymore, okay?
They're basically just there to fight.
Blues were friends with blues.
Reds friends with reds, okay?
And, you know, now, like basically, you know, there's all these graphs of polarization and so on.
You've probably seen this as well, where blue is its own group and there's all these red tribes, okay?
Like blues are on blue sky and reds are on X or Gab or wherever other places, right?
And so the digital succession is already here.
