We've moved from a culture of consequence.
Like I said earlier, when you're wrong, it doesn't matter anymore.
We are now in a culture of we could call it churn.
Now, I want to call your attention back to I guess it was 2004 when John Kerry was ultimately the Democratic nominee.
There was a guy named Howard Dean, a medical doctor, a physician who screamed once because he was excited.
It ended his primary race.
Now, a lot a lot of our younger voters are like, wait, so someone screamed and it ended his primary race.
Howard Dean had this moment.
I wish I had the audio.
But I'll recreate it for you.
Where after I think he had won a primary.
He got up on stage and he sort of went, we're going to go to Iowa and New Hampshire and Kansas.
It was sort of like a noise like that.
That was it is over.
He ended his primary race because of the scream.
Now, some argued he eventually would have lost anyway.
I think that's true, but it wouldn't have been immediate.
That seems impossible to imagine today.
