It feels very community based compared to maybe other places I've been or lived.

And people have each other's backs and the state and like the services the state provides.

you know, support the people of the state.

And it just breeds this community mindset.

And I think even though I don't necessarily live there now, when I go back, I feel at home because I know the people there are going to have my back and are going to be reasonable and are going to be caring.

And I think that kind of keeps your feet on the ground when things are maybe pretty insane because, you know, you have a place to go back to where there is that support.

I swear it is.

Yeah.

I like, I was also a little bit surprised to be honest, because my dad has like the best political radar I've ever seen.

And I,

he you know up until then he's pretty much called every election he's been in accurately and he said in like the weeks leading up to 2016 that we were in trouble whenever really yeah like he he's really good at that and he thought we were gonna win and so like i think it was a little you know a bit of a wake-up call for everybody like oh okay so we were in a bubble um
