You state some of the data that's out there. I forget what percentage, but it's younger people saying across the board they couldn't date anyone outside of their own political party. I think of these great examples like I remember growing up and getting a real bang out of the fact that the raging Cajun was married to, you know, a strategist for the Clinton campaigns married to Mary Madeline.

Mary Madeline, strategist for the Republican campaign. And I thought, that's admirable. That's really cool that those two love each other and they have completely different opinions. And that's like an anthem now. That's insane. The followers of either of those people would feel like it would be a betrayal for them to love and be in a relationship with someone on the opposite side. Go ahead.

Yeah, I did disagree. I do disagree. If I asked you to describe Callie and why you're best friends, whether you would list all these qualities and you wouldn't say, and she's a Democrat, you know, like I think the core, her character, what you like about her really, I don't think her political identity would come up.

Or if you were asked to describe why you liked any of your friends, I don't know that that Political identity would come and be like, they're dependable, they're thoughtful, they listen to me, they're caring, they're loving, they're generous. There'd be all these things.

So my objection is this very abstract thing of a political identity, the fact that it could nullify all these actual qualities in a person is scary to me.

So when you hear that, that little light debate, by the way, that was very light and respectful. It got a lot more heated in front of our boss last time. That's who we are.

Well, you talk about this weird flip that also happened where it used to be when you were growing up and me as well, there was this dynamic where a child would go to a parent and say, I'm gay, and then kind of wait whether they were going to accept or reject them.

And now you have young people publicly on social media talking about having no choice but to reject their parents because of their political point of view. It's just kind of an interesting flip and very similar through whatever their point of view is. I'm going to reject this person. And that's kind of interesting and feels newer.
