And just you can't get away from it. Like Montana. Montana has, I think, six or seven hundred thousand voters and they've dropped a quarter of a billion dollars. I don't know how you could even spend a quarter of a billion dollars in Montana. It's like if you have $100,000 in cash, you have to pay that in going to a McDonald's.

I don't know how they do that, but I promise you everybody in Pennsylvania or in any of these kinds of contested states, they just can't get away from that shit. And at this point, they just stop paying attention to it. It's just, it's like, it's noise. It's toxic kinds of noise.

And it is about trying to destroy that person and to convince other people that you are the worst thing in the world. You're you're a Marxist, you're a communist or you're just all kinds of things.

And we had problems with inequality in a community that 90 percent of the population abandoned the community and left.
