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.

Yeah, I mean, Garrison, you really said it. And in this moment, personally, I am really wondering, like, what my role is. Like, where can I fit in? There was a time where, you know, just being out on the street yelling, like being so frustrated, I have to take to the streets and scream in impotent rage. That would feel like something.

And I just think in 2025, I have to figure out, like, what it is I can contribute and contribute that. And I don't know that it's protest as it used to be. Like I used to be somebody who like protest was my thing. Like, you know, I really got my start in the anti-war movement when I was in college. And like that felt like something. I don't think that that's what it is for me anymore.

So yes, and I don't know that I see some of the institutional powers that be, even people who are like ostensibly like on our side, doing that pivot, right? Like I'm very much in this sort of like nonprofit industrial complex. All the organizations who were like, oh, well, where should we put in our money and this and that? The first time around, I just see them doing the same old thing.

And it's like, I don't know that that is what's going to save us. And like, Don't get me started on how useless the Democrats are because I'll go all day. But like when Trump announced that he was moving the inauguration inside, they printed little jokey shirts that said snowflake. I'm just so sick of that. Like that sort of like sneering, dunking.

Okay, I'm not even sure, like... I have so much to say about this. So I have been saying this for a very long time. And, you know, we were all at the Democratic National Convention. I have to admit that I was there as an influencer. But the thing that annoyed me so much was like that exact sentiment and that exact sentiment.
