Or do you just say, never mind, like a Democrat is a Democrat, go after the Republicans because they are the ones that are the arsonist of this story. I think that like, It's about how you fight that we kind of differ.
Or, you know, you can look, the State of the Union is really the best example of like how everyone sees this moment differently, right? Like it's like we went out, we campaigned, we were like, this fool is a dictator and he's gonna try to tear everything down. And that was before the 100 days when we literally have receipts of him doing it, right?

And he's up there and he's giving the State of the Union. And who is it that is most disruptive? A man in his 70s. It's Al Green, someone who is of the civil rights era and believes in civil disobedience.

Exactly. And he believes in dealing with this completely differently. And then you have those that sat there and didn't do anything. Then you had those that had the signs that everybody got drunk about. And then you had those of us that decided that we were gonna walk out, right? I think that that's the issue. I think that in our hearts, None of us like what's going on.

It's just a matter of we cannot get on a similar page of like, what does the response look like? What does the fight look like? And I think that's really our bigger issue. And I think that some people believe if you've been in the institution too long, that there's no way you are willing to fight back against it.

I think it's been being too nice, to be perfectly honest. I mean, I remember when I was in the state house and, you know, we fled Texas and we went to D.C. and we were trying to kind of ring the alarms about these horrific voter suppression bills that the Heritage Foundation dropped into Texas, dropped into Georgia, dropped into Florida.
