It's so early. I think everybody's going to have their own personal reaction. And it's impossible not to be aware of the fact that people feel this, you know, that, oh, wow, you know, there can be retribution from the government if you say something wrong. And that's really scary. So just to even be thinking that way is, but, you know, of course, I'm aware of it. I think everybody's aware of it.

And And certain people are just naturally more outspoken and always have been. And I've sort of had my own path with it. But right now, yeah, I think it's definitely a thing that people feel. And in a way, for me, it makes me think about it even more, about what do I really want to say and how do I really feel about something? And I think for artists in times like these, their creative energy...

really goes into expressing what they feel. And there's a lot of amazing work that can come out of times like these that I hope we see.

Maybe the first time around, it was more about Trump. And then this time around, it's more about the realization that our country... is really deeply divided. For me, it's less about the fact that he won by a majority and that many, many, many people are willing to go down that road. And what is that? So that's actually something that it's always, I think, been about.

And that divide is something that I think you have to sort of wrestle with and acknowledge and figure out and look at your own point of view in that too, and your own prejudice towards people who don't have the same point of view as you.

But I also feel like there's a reality to where we are, and we have to figure out how to go forward and be productive and call out when the line is being crossed, which it seems like it's being crossed. I mean, January 6th, violent offenders being pardoned. That's a line, you know?

Yeah, I guess. I mean, and also I think it's like what, you know, what people are getting out of it and what they want out of it. And I think everybody, you know, in the country, people want to have a better standard of living and they don't want to have to you know, pay so much for housing and they want to, you know, or food and all those things are very real and legitimate.

It's just, you know, how you get there and whether you believe that, you know, what Trump is saying. And, but I don't think that motivation behind that is necessarily wrong to want someone who's going to fix those things.
