you're not allowed to sort of be on that journey, right?

And that was very interesting to hear Nicki Minaj say, because she's somebody who has been absolutely getting attacked, wildly getting attacked, for again, thinking aloud, she's clearly been on somewhat of an ideological journey.

And you can see how at points in that journey, when she started getting this pushback, it was like,

pushed her maybe further in the other direction because she realized that the side she was disillusioned with was also trying to get her, sort of clinging to her, jealously clinging to her and trying to get her not even to think freely.

And that's again, I mean, I remember 10 years ago, people on the right saying,

I think when I was in college, our like conservative student group hosted a lecture that was, I want to say the title was like conservatives are the real rebels on campus or something like that, which on an intellectual level was totally true at the time.

Because if you're at a liberal college campus like I was, it was complete ideological conformity, right?

had the least interesting and rebellious worldviews imaginable.

Now, though, that is not just on an intellectual level, right?

Like it's kind of cringe to think back on that in 2011 or 2012 when Mitt Romney was the GOP candidate, right?

But now it's not just intellectual, it's cultural and it's hitting people in the heart.

And I think that was very, very interesting to hear from Nicki Minaj, not just about the speech creativity question, but also about the race question.

This is the turning point speech.

All right, so Jasmine Crockett then responded.
