You use the word value.

So I'm going to jump in here.

Okay.

Sounds like you have two options.

A, not go.

Or B, be willing to be labeled a troublemaker.

And I think any other energy you expend on anything other than those two options is a waste of energy.

You don't, y'all have different values.

I just... You want to be fully you and you want them to be different.

You can only impact one side of that equation.

And one of the things I think social media has lied to us about is that being fully you always, always comes at a cost.

And the way social media is designed is it circles the wagons with a million different realities for slivers, niche, beliefs, operating systems, values.

And we think that we can be fully ourselves, comment on things, watch things, scroll things, get enraged by things.

And it doesn't have a cost in social media world.

This is the real world where you have racist family members.

But you don't get a choice on that.

Because they can blow up if they want to.

And they can rift with you if they want to.

They're adults in America.

They can make that choice.
