So there's a lot of Democrats, a lot of Republicans.

So it's a swing city in a red state.

Yeah.

So I'm speaking there to a group of business people the morning after Trump's first election.

And you could cut the like tension with a knife that morning because half the room is like elated and doesn't want to admit it.

And half the room is like incredibly depressed and doesn't want to talk about it.

And the guy who was running it, who I found out was kind of Democrat.

But I just and he got up and said, so what do we do on a day like this?

He said on a day like this, he said, we do what we've always done here in Louisville.

He said, we come together and we try to solve problems that we all care about.

And so I think you, what's harder to do that at a national level.

So I think it's going to have to be done locally, but there have to be an organization to these experiments and we have to test whether they work, right?

You know, we have to see, well, this one's working, let's grow it, et cetera.

Yeah.

And again, I mean, this itself is like a massive project.

But I want to go back to something Suzette said that I think is really important.

When Bernie Sanders ran for president one of the times, he said, you know, we need a real American revolution.

And of course, the people who hate him thought what he meant is we need to become, you know, a Russian socialist.

But what he meant was if you listen to Bernie Sanders, he said what he meant by a real American revolution is Americans have to be as engaged in between elections.

as they are during elections.
