Yeah, so something I felt there out there, we were downtown in L.A.
It was a bigger No Kings protest than the one that came before, and...
You know, like it's a big coalition of people showing up.
There are a lot of people.
I have a feeling it's actually maybe the one spot where you and the communists find some alignment.
up to head speakers like blood and soil nationalism it kind of depends on having people kind of not just online but in the world right it's meant to be people that take great pride in their country and this is our country this is where we belong but you'd think if that were a genuine deep felt
political ideology, it would exist in the world.
There'd be people walking around on soil, blood in their veins.
But that's not really what MAGA is.
There are people that'll go to a Turning Point USA event.
There are just people that'll show up at a Trump rally.
But millions and millions of people are showing up for No Kings.
They're leaving their house and their phones and their computers to bring their phones with them, but they're leaving their screens and they're going out and having a real experience with people in the world.
MAGA doesn't really do that in the same way.
MAGA is a movement of people watching screens and consuming content on social media and on television.
That is what it is.
It is people angry online.
It is people riling each other up via right-wing misinformation and, like, right-wing propaganda channels.
And that can be enough to get people to show up and vote, as we've seen.
