So the punctuation on that was the killing of Rene Good in Minneapolis.

But then it was, you know, I would say in an even bigger way, the killing by federal agents of Alex Preddy.

Yeah, I think you have to be careful here because there's a spectrum on what people are willing to say.

So.

I mean, after Alex Pettis, this was in January, after Pettis was killed, Andrew Schultz said, you know, this is fucking disgusting, the way that the administration has handled this.

Like, he's rarely earnest on the podcast, as I said, and he and the guys took like five minutes to just sort of absolutely go off on this.

Very shortly after that, you have Iran.

And now I would say the feeling is kind of like they feel almost comically betrayed.

I think it's different for someone like Joe Rogan, who I think is still giving Trump, you know, I don't think you see him saying, I'm so done with this guy.

But in this world, you also have people like Sean Ryan, former military guy, podcaster.

He's saying Republicans better not fucking come to my door this November.

So that's the spectrum.

But none of it's good for Trump.

They're somewhere between totally baffled and really fucking angry.

What this does for Republicans is bad in that the midterms are already going to be low turnout.

Midterms typically are.

The incumbent's party, Trump's party, needs enthusiasm to win.

Ah, no one thinks that the people who voted for Trump in 2024 are going to be so pissed they vote Democrat, at least not in mass.

The risk is they're going to stay home.

They're going to be like, you know what?
