Your material circumstances are actually worse than they were a couple of years ago.

But it's not because of the inclusion.

It's not because of the efforts from within the government and from within businesses to make more opportunities for diverse people.

It's actually because of people hoarding wealth and trying to make it so you have less social mobility.

Well, I think one of the things from Justin that's really effective is that he's just willing to call things what they are.

And when you talk about behavior that is directly pulling from the Jim Crow South being used, that resonates with people because they see it and it reminds them of that.

And I think a lot of the decorum that's used in language in the Democratic Party is holding people back from recognizing some very basic things to be true.

So when people compare MAGA to different fascist movements throughout history, some people will say, slow down, hold back.

You know, we don't want to get inflammatory with the rhetoric.

But at the end of the day, people want to hear someone speak truth to power.

And very often those truths are uncomfortable.

So when you're an individual like myself who largely benefits from these systems in place.

It is uncomfortable and challenging to hear people call things what they are, talk about individuals in government who are acting like they are the grand wizard of something.

But at the end of the day, that's what people are going to respond to is the very basic truth of things, not being danced around or tiptoed around, but being plainly spoken.

Well, I mean, it's completely right.

The thing about Donald Trump is, though, even though he doesn't have a very stringent belief system, he sounds like he believes what he's saying when he's talking.

And that was something I've noticed about Donald Trump's Twitter compared to other politicians.

There are politicians who I believe have a much more clear and

real system of beliefs.

But when they tweet something, it sounds like a focus group tweeted.
