And we should recognize that.

I know that there's a lot not happening that we're disappointed in.

But every now and then when people move in the right direction, we go, hey, this is a win because we're all shaping the narrative now.

We've driven the framing.

Now the question is, what are we going to do about it?

I know that's part of what you want to talk about.

This happened three years ago.

Two Muslim members came into the legislature.

They swore in on the Quran and they meant it.

And then they started celebrating every Muslim holiday they could.

They started getting all of their Christian fellow lawmakers to attend all of their Muslim dinners.

They started trying to put imams and halal food into Texas code.

They wanted to put the Muslim faith into Texas code wherever they could.

So it started three years ago.

It's still continuing today.

And that's why I think it is kind of reaching that pinnacle of awareness.

People are finally saying, I don't want to touch this.

I remember a friend of mine in Weatherford, and I'll close with this, that he was running against a bad Republican, Glenn Rogers.

Mike Alcott is his name, total grassroots champion.

And so Glenn Rogers starts getting criticized for voting to celebrate all these Muslim holidays in the Texas House.
