And I guess that's something else that I wanted to talk a bit about, which is that, you know, the first time around during Trump's inauguration, I was like out on the streets. I was like, it sounds so silly now, but like, I mean, almost don't even want to get into it, but the idea of like resist, that had not yet become a cliche to me.

And in the aftermath of Trump's first election, I was really clinging to that for like whatever hope or power. I didn't know it was going to turn out to be like a bunch of grifters and like people saying like hashtag resist and like meaning nothing. At the time, I really clung to that. This time around, total night and day difference. And I think the mood on the street, I think, reflected that.

I think that D.C. is exhausted. The people that generally I know who are, like, radicals, who would be out on the street, a lot of those people were like, we're sitting this one out.

That was like a refrain I hear from a lot of black and brown organizing folks here in D.C. Like, this is not our fight. We are we are sitting this one out. And I don't blame anybody. Right. Like, it's a lot. We've all been through a lot.

The last time Trump was in office, y'all remember like the Women's March and pussy hats and all of that? I actually staffed the Women's March that time around. I was one of the digital street team folks. So I was like very invested. This time around, they changed the name. They rebranded to the People's March. And they only had a couple of thousand people out there.

And so, you know, I think it really goes back to what you were saying, Robert, personally. I have a hard time with the idea that what we did then is what we should be doing now, that that that that playbook is still going to work. And frankly, like 69 percent of white women voted for Trump. Right.

And so, like, the idea that I would feel safe and feel solidarity with a bunch of women out on the streets, like being like, boo Trump. It's just like. I understand why the turnout was so low because I feel like solidarity and march on the street is clearly not where we're at. So that is not how we should be meeting this moment.
