And I think what's really interesting about this is that it is a moment of pause.
You know, much like when a fan recently said, I love ranch dressing, I stopped for a moment.
I was like, what is ranch dressing?
There's a similar thing that, you know, with fans talking about how warm and
embracing the U.S.
is that I think it is a moment of asking oneself, what is the U.S.?
And I think we've had that moment over and over again for the last 15 or 16 months, right?
Like we've been told from the top down, from the administration and from the ruling party right now that the U.S.
is fundamentally at its core
a country that is closed, that does not want foreigners, that is not open, and that is xenophobic.
And so then I think part of the great joy, one of the reasons people are enjoying this cup so much is this moment of seeing that this isn't entirely the case, that there are people in the U.S.
that are incredibly welcoming and friendly and that want moments like these.
Listen, I think also there's a reality.
There's two coexisting realities here.
The U.S.
has policies in place that are not just anti-immigrant or immigrant restrictionist.
There are accusations of extremely, very severe human rights abuses, right?
We are at a moment in which there are consistently around 60,000 people
in immigration detention, reporting conditions that are horrifying, and consistently around 70% have no criminal conviction.
And it hasn't escaped me, you know, I'm based in New York.
