I think you might prefer these little monitor for your phone things to watch a movie on a plane simply because they're so much smaller and lighter and the thing itself would be cheaper. And you just, you know, if the image quality isn't quite as good, that's fine. It's still better than watching on your tiny phone screen on a tray table.

Uh, for anyone who's listening to this, who is, uh, on the opposite side of us and somehow managed to make it this point, uh, congratulations on your hate listening. Um,

No, they just want to hear the rest of the things we say so they know exactly how much they should hate us. But, like, I bet one of the things you're thinking is, like, this is so overblown. Oh, you're so sad because your team lost the Super Bowl. Who cares? Like, get over it. Oh, you're depressed. That's ridiculous. Like, what's the big deal? To try to explain, like...

You know, we're saying our real feelings here, but you may think our feelings are ridiculous. But to try to explain why this is different, like I'm old enough to have lived through the election of many presidents that I didn't want to win the election. Right. I've lived through many Republicans. I didn't want any of them to win. They did. Right.

None of them felt like Trump, you know, term one and term two. And there's a reason for that. Like this, this is different. All the people, all the people in your life, you see like, oh, you're so sad about the present election. Get over it. Why is it a big deal? Why are you so sad about this? This is worse than it has been in my lifetime for presidential elections.

When George W. Bush was elected twice. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe he was elected the first time. I couldn't believe he was elected the second time. Why are we doing this again? Are you kidding? We learned nothing, right?

But it was not as bad as this because George W. Bush, for all his faults, and there are many, and for all the terrible things his administration did, and there are many, had sort of minimum baseline level of humanity and at least an attempt to pretend to care about the duties of the presidency and the people who live in the country. And the whole thing with Trump has been like, there is no floor.

He doesn't know anything. He doesn't want to know anything. He doesn't care about anything. It's like trying to decide who's going to fly your plane and like, I don't care if this person knows or cares anything about planes, knows what a plane is, has ever flown anything before, cares about any of the people on the plane, doesn't actively want to kill everybody on the plane.

None of that matters, right? Trump is just like the bottom. Like, I can think of worse people to be president, but it's hard. And it's below the baseline. And so for people on our side, when we see him elected not once but twice, we think, you know, how many millions of our fellow Americans think this is acceptable? And we're sad about that.

Yes, obviously we're sad about all the people who are going to be hurt and, you know, and killed and have terrible things happen to them under his administration. But a big component of the sadness of both elections is all of us thinking we're in this country with these millions and millions of people who think this is acceptable for the presidency. Right. Like that. It's it's not a good feeling.
