The argument you make is about the affordability of a typical family life juxtaposed with the corruption that this man not only is raising the cost of your child's doll, he's also spending half of his time soaking money like a vampire squid out of every single possible sycophant he possibly can. That's the message. Affordability plus corruption.

The positive vision is let's make American family life affordable. Not again, but like in many cases for the first time, a new kind of family life that we deserve in the 2020s and 2030s. That involves building what we know how to build like houses. It involves inventing what we don't know how to build like cures for diseases that ruin families.

But then, as you know, a lot of politics is negative polarization. A lot of politics is watching what the guy in power does and coming up with a very clean message of distinguishing yourself from the fallen incumbent, from the flawed incumbent. And fortunately for Democrats, in a way, Donald Trump is a fucking buffet of of items that you can be negatively polarized against.

He's doing so many things that are terrible. In a way, the real challenge is figuring out what is the thing you want to focus on. I'm disgusted by the deportation plans. I'm disgusted by the tearing up of constitutional order.

There are a lot of good nominations, but I would focus on the kitchen table issue, that this is a guy who said he'd make America 2019 again and said he made America 2020 again. He's making America chaotic, right? He's making American manufacturers not know what's coming next. American buyers feel like there's shortages at the places that they're shopping at.

I think that's where you would want to sharpen the message. And of course, there's ways that abundance plays into this. But I never want to answer questions about like the 2028 election. by just like hawking the book, that seems dishonest because the book doesn't know what people are really going to care about in three months or three years.
