There's a ton of incentive for both political addicts on the right to find some nut job on the left who did or said something crazy.
They're all going to grab our guns.
Or there's some nut job on the left who
wants to say everybody on the right wants to do this horrible thing to you because they found some idiot on Twitter or on a podcast who said that thing.
And the problem with that kind of nut picking is it doesn't ever solve a problem.
And it does create a delusional othering of the rest of your community.
But it also takes the whole middle and said, these freaks are not people you should really pay attention to.
Well, I do think in Nebraska, I think you could do a long-term version of what I did for—
less than two terms, but two full election cycles, two primaries, two generals, which is despite the fact that it looked like the most politically addicted people really, really disliked me, the voters did like me because I was a dad first.
I was a husband.
I was a Christian.
I was a Husker sports addict.
I was talking about the technological disruptions to the nature of their work, but I never pretended there was a piece of legislation that the day after tomorrow,
Apocalypticism or salvation is coming by legislative process.
That's bullshit.
And I would never lie to my people like that.
And they know it's bullshit and they don't want to be lied to.
And so they're like, why can't politics do a small number of important long term things?
Tell the truth about the FISC.
figure out what our national security priorities should be, do a small number of things, shut up and get off the stage.
