You can have a skiing holiday and a beach holiday all just in a drive.
But, you know, it's like any nation, isn't it?
The people are different to the politicians and policy is.
is set at one level and people operate their lives just keeping on, keeping on and getting through.
And, you know, I think that's why we've seen the real polarisation in this nation in recent times as well that Donald Trump really tapped into when he first came down those golden escalators in 2015.
Like this notion of the elite up in Washington, D.C., who just don't understand and don't get what, you know, if you want to say in inverted commas, the ordinary people, the real people of America are.
are just doing to get through a day and are concerned about having a reasonable quality of life and a reasonable amount of money in your pocket and so on.
And it's this, you know, sort of concept of the fear of the other.
Like if you don't know people from other places and you haven't met them, you're sort of into this sort of protectionist space, which many politicians here have really leaned into and appreciated.
some would say, really exploited.
And, you know, the president likes to say over and over, doesn't he, immigrants who come to the US being rapists and murderers.
And, you know, he has that sentence he uses where, you know, all the bad ones are sent here and that kind of thing.
And suddenly people are now exposed to people from other parts of the country and the world in large numbers.
And they're seeing people
for themselves without having to do the travelling and so on that we were talking about.
No, I mean, I was in Atlanta that night at that debate and you could have heard a pin drop, you know, sort of that half an hour or so through that first answer that Joe Biden really stumbled on talking about COVID and losing his way.
And you even see Donald Trump sort of looking at him like, what's going on here?
He beat it to death and he's destroying Medicare because all of these people...
But Democrats need this discussion brought up, as one said to me, like a hole in the head at this point in time.
You know, they're trying to move beyond all of that infighting, all of what was seen as, you know, protecting a party elder.
