But I'm old enough, we're both old enough to remember when Democrats held sway over much of the South.

It wasn't that long ago.

And so I think the Democratic Party has to concentrate on becoming more tolerant of differences within the tent.

And it's interesting, they can actually look at the Trump GOP.

There was this interesting dynamic in 2024 where the GOP had a broader ideological tent

than the Democratic Party, there was one condition to join the GOP tent.

To walk into that tent was the red hat.

You had to have the red hat.

You had to pledge loyalty to Trump.

You could be pro-vax or anti-vax.

You could be pro-Ukraine.

You could be anti-Ukraine.

You could be pro-war with Iran.

You could be anti-war with Iran.

Now, that kind of messy coalition can get messy when you're governing.

but it's a great way to win elections.

And so, you know, I would say if you see somebody to, you know, my, to Democratic listeners, if you see somebody who agrees with you 70% of the time,

Lean into that 70%.

Don't sit there and focus on the 30% and say, you're just not like me.

You're horrible.
