However, I believe Gore is right.

To the American people, we're kind of past peak Trump.

That if you look at the polling and you look at how people actually feel about Donald Trump and what's happening, is that the erosion of their majority is going on.

Now, back to functioning democracy.

To have a functioning democracy, you have to, first of all, have the rule of law.

You have to have an even playing field where the people can express their deepest desires.

And, you know, Peter Senge, one of my mentors who wrote The Fifth Discipline, said that, you know, you have a system problem when the outcomes the system produces are not what the individuals in the system would want.

So what we have now is the system, whether it's the Supreme Court's affirmation of gerrymandering, which both sides do, but the Republicans are doing now squared.

If you look at what they're doing in terms of due process, et cetera.

So what you have right now is the system is rigged against even the majority of Americans who no longer believe in most of what Trump is doing.

And so I think you have to have the rule of law.

And that's one of the things that's breaking down in the United States.

And that is always the first thing that goes when a democracy dies is the rule of law.

Now, the good news is, and then I'll stop, is that if you look at the last elections in Virginia and New Jersey, as John Kasich, who is the last Republican standing against Trump the first time, God bless him for just his deep humanity.

As John Kasich said, America is basically a centrist country.

And he said what those elections showed is that if there's a fair election, Americans will go back towards the center.

And I do believe that.

So I think the real battle is going to be making sure the elections stay fair and that the courts uphold that.

We unfortunately have a Supreme Court now on both sides that is no longer a jurisprudence because almost every decision is 6-3.

That tells you the system is broken because people are not voting based on the law.
