Now, he's done it for self-enrichment.

He's done it so that he can enshrine the Oval Office in gold and build a ballroom for himself and launder money through foreign countries into his own pockets and his family's pockets and build up his real estate portfolio.

So he's doing it for...

for um for you know for bad reasons my argument is that democrats should look at what trump's doing and use that for virtuous reasons to deliver medicare for all it is long past time that we have universal health care in the richest country in the world it's crazy that we don't to combat climate change the existential issue of our time to expand voting rights uh especially at a time when they're contracting across the country amid the fall of the voting rights act

There are so many things that we can do that we allow these norms and traditions to block us from doing.

But I think we have to get past this idea that even the smallest speed bump is going to be an obstacle for us.

Our Democratic officials are not in government so that they can...

pay deference to the institutions of government.

They're there so that they can deliver outcomes for people.

And if that means they have to find a way to circumvent these hurdles, these processes, then so be it.

Because the reality is, I think we're gonna have a small window of time where we already know that there was a largely disillusioned with Democrats

block of voters.

That's why they went over to Republicans.

Now we have a disillusioned block of Republican voters because Trump lied about everything that he was gonna do.

So already trusting government is at extreme lows.

We have a second, I think, I believe, we're gonna have a second bite of the apple here where we can bring people back into this tent.

But if we don't deliver, if it's good enough that Democrats can just notch symbolic victories and get caught trying before eventually something inevitably goes wrong,

then I think you're just going to lose large swaths of the population.

And when you have an electorate that's that disaffected, I think that's the conditions in which autocracy thrives.

Right.
