So people's memory of the 2019 economy and then COVID happens.
And, you know, like the general sense was, well, this is beyond anyone's control, but we did get the, those like, you know, uh, a lot of working class Americans, a lot of their financial position actually improved, uh,
In 2020.
Yeah, I don't know.
Yeah, no, I mean, so so so unfortunately, like this actually gained the whole way everything rolled out, gave Trump a lot of credit with working class people.
I was like, you know, like this guy actually like did something and that that Biden was the guy who was like taking stuff away.
No, I mean, it was a.
But I mean, the overall picture is of a party that is sort of discredited.
And as you mentioned, like you had all these people who should have resigned in addition to Biden who were kept around because of the staffers and the staffers could hold on to their stuff.
And I really think, like you said, what's the ideology here?
And what is the thinking here?
And we have to pay tribute to one of the greatest living Americans who, like, celebrated his 100th birthday and who's, like, one of your colleagues, which is Mel Brooks in Blazing Saddle, you know, where the people who work for the governor said, you know, like, we have to preserve, Mel Brooks, playing the governor of the state, says, you know, gentlemen, we have to protect our phony baloney jobs.
Harumph, harumph.
That is the ideology here, right?
That is what James Carville and Neera Tanden believe in the heart of hearts.
We have to protect our phony baloney jobs.
A very genius establishment figure, yeah.
Well, no, I mean, I think the way to think about this is in terms of the sort of hollowing out of the parties, that the American parties are these kind of like big brands, but they can be you can leverage a takeover of them.
And it was what Trump did with the Republican Party.
He basically, you know, like took this hollowed out party, but discredited by the Bush administration.
