Jamel, what are you thinking?
So, you know, when you think about the Trump coalition, you know, if you looked at the commercials that Trump was blanketing their waves with, they were inflation, the economy, too much immigration, just very mainstream messages.
But if you went to the rallies, if you saw the rallies, it was wild, you know, just wild down every conspiracy rabbit hole you could imagine.
And so the question was, who's going to govern, commercial Trump or rally Trump?
Well, it wasn't even really a question.
It was going to be rally Trump.
And so you put the wildest, most extreme people in charge of some of the most delicate and important policies in the United States of America.
And what you're going to see is you're going to see extremism and you're going to see brutality.
And when you combine extremism and brutality, especially when you overlay that with a reality that a lot of
Black and Hispanic Americans, depending on where they are in this country, can't feel like they can walk down the street without necessarily having a show-me-your-papers moment.
And even if they show their papers, can sometimes be seized anyway.
And when you do that, you can't build a multiracial coalition around that.
That is just not possible.
He's taken a sledgehammer to his coalition literally from day one.
All right, David.
Okay, so have y'all seen the Netflix movie, The Rip?
Ben Affleck, Matt Damon.
Really good.
Yes, I do.
Highly recommend.
