So if we can't show people that there is a reason for them to have offered up their votes to a certain political party, then we can't be surprised when those people just give up on politics altogether.
You have to use what little power you have, at least to begin investigating a lot of the corruption that we're seeing right now.
There is there.
You know, I spend time in the book talking about accountability, and I think this was a part that it was a little bit difficult for me because I was like, OK, do we focus on a proactive agenda
because there are a lot of people who don't care about the minutia of politics or holding somebody to account.
What they care about is that the government is delivering for them.
What they care about is that they can afford their rent and to put food on the table and to get medicine or healthcare for their family.
That's what they care about.
They don't give a shit when they turn on CNN and watch the back and forth of the usual partisan food fight.
At the same time, there are a lot of people who recognize, I think rightfully, that if we don't have accountability for the corruption that we're seeing right now, then you can't have a functional government.
And so you can't trust that, for example, this won't happen again if you fail to hold people accountable for their criminality.
You can make the argument, and I do, that the reason that we're seeing so much corruption in Trump 2.0 is because the Biden administration, Merrick Garland, refused to actually wield the levers of power
in a virtuous way against Donald Trump when he was engaged in all of his criminality.
And so Trump got this idea, and I don't blame him, that he can act with impunity.
So you have to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.
If we're in a situation where we only have the House, for example, and obviously you can't pass legislation if you've only got the House, so that's fine.
Use what power you have to at least begin investigating all of the rampant corruption that we're seeing right now, whether it's these Trump kids and Trump family members getting massive military contracts, whether it's these short sales that we're seeing on an almost daily basis where a bunch of stocks are sold and then five minutes later, Trump makes an announcement that sends the stock market
plunging or surging.
So this stuff is happening in broad daylight.
And I think there is this sense from Trump aligned figures and Republicans that, you know what, like our guys are in office right now.
