Now, I think there is a much greater set of hypocrisy in what's happening on the Republican side here.

Yes.

But the thing that, from a purely political perspective, and I'm going to get us to the messaging around this in a minute, but from a purely political perspective,

in terms of like winning races, right?

Taking the majority, winning the electoral college.

We do not care that much that 85% of self-identified MAGA Republicans are with Trump.

Like that is not the issue.

Now, if all of a sudden we want to start competing in North Dakota, we got to get that number to like 65.

But in terms of winning, even winning in Texas, Alaska, Iowa, Ohio, that is a sustainable number.

What we care about are independents who voted for Trump and Republicans who do not identify as MAGA.

Because I think...

I think we've all, in the sort of political conversation post-2024, convinced ourselves that MAGA is a movement based on a set of views, right?

That it is anti-immigration.

It is anti-trade.

We believed it was America first nationalism, right?

Smaller government, those sorts of things.

It is not those things.

No.

MAGA is another way of saying Trump.

What Trump is for, they are for.
