Since I've been into politics, I've always had this thing where it's like,

If you're ever going down a path where your enemy is your neighbor, you're going down the wrong path.

That is just not correct.

And it's not that your neighbor maybe doesn't have his problems or have a different way of living life than you do.

And that is true.

There certainly are a lot of that.

And you may have some bad neighbors.

I'm not saying your neighbors are all great, but like...

Yeah.

In the United States of America, you're not being oppressed by your neighbor.

You're really not like that just is not the there are powerful interests who have rigged this entire economy and our entire government policy against the American people on behalf of a very small group of powerful people.

And those are your enemies.

And if they're not, you're not doing political commentary.

Right.

Like, yeah, you're just you're not helping.

Well, there's to me, it seems that obviously, like a lot of this stuff is like within reason and just applying common sense.

But certainly, like if there was some I don't know, whatever, you know, like if there was a like a Maoist authoritarian movement.

you know from my perspective just really horrible politics but we agreed on one small issue then like yeah i'm probably not going to coalition with that person over a small issue like if we agreed on some like zoning law in in a local ordinance or something like that but he's like a maoist probably okay i'll think i'm not gonna wanna but like

What it comes down to is how important is the issue that we're talking about here?

You know, like to me, that has so like even just now when you were talking about money in politics, I think me and you have a slightly different view or maybe a pretty drastically different view on that.
