We saw like Indian people online, they voted for Trump that, you know, had some second thoughts about it after seeing that backlash. You know, I'm going to say respectfully, Steve Bannon has personally made my life much worse 10 years ago during Gamergate. So I may not be quite as big a fan of him as you are.

Like, it's just undeniable. There is definitely a racist undercurrent that exists in the Republican Party. I don't think it's everyone. I don't think it's every Trump voter. But I think like if we're talking about the vibe shift, the biggest gift that, you know, the Republicans could give to the Democrats that could just keep the stalemate going is to not check this and not denounce it.

I think I'm going to get yelled at for saying this by my friends in the Democratic Party, but I kind of support it. And let me tell you why.
