especially in the foreign policy space, in the intel armed services space, they want to be supportive of a lot of these moves in Iran, Israel, Venezuela.

But that the feedback that they just need, they need more of it.

And like they're they're just clamoring for it.

And so I think that that will be something that is an ongoing challenge.

But I think the administration, they can get there.

Well, it's also interesting, too, because there's always the perception that basically, aside from President Trump, that Democrats have been way better for like more than a decade at small dollar online funding than Republicans.

Yeah.

So I'm actually kind of kind of surprised to hear that, frankly.

But, you know, the fact that.

Like, online fundraising now is so stretched around the idea of moments.

Like, you need a political moment.

And it's been interesting the last decade or so when Democrats get mad, they get a solicitation, donate a dollar today, and ActBlue will just send it out into the ether.

And then when Republicans get mad, they write an angry Facebook comment.

That's just generally been a small dollar dynamic that the Republican Party has had to deal with.

So the fact that like this, there's a kind of a slowdown right now.

I think this gears up as political moments occur on the campaign trail.

I, you know, we just went through a brutal, long stretch of an election where we saw Democrats change out their candidate, you know,

President Trump got, you know, had attempts on his life.

And so now to be in like the other side of that, are people kind of worn out from kind of like the political horse race?

Like maybe it's just we can chalk it up to that.
