But ultimately, I do think that they want the same thing.

They just have different ideas of how to achieve those goals.

I've been a Democratic voter my entire life.

I voted for Obama.

I voted for Hillary the first go-around.

But the way that I saw things kind of unfold during COVID and ultimately with a lot of the larger sort of sociocultural issues around language and the seemingly disintegrating ability to wrap anything in a definition, gender, whatnot, to me, it just felt like we needed a bit of a cultural reset, like a vibe check.

And, you know, the way that society works, I find the pendulum always tends to swing too far in any direction.

Like, society always has this tendency to overcorrect.

But in the moment, for the last election, and also notably with the alignment of RFK Jr., who, you know, I thought he was operating from a very high-integrity place, and ultimately, you know, I'm very pleased with the dietary guidelines, which I know we're going to talk about, led to the decision to support Trump, to endorse Trump.

And it wasn't even necessarily...

a vote for him per se, but a rebuke of the way that I saw things, you know, had been heading during the prior four years, the gaslighting with regards to, you know, our previous president's cognitive health, a myriad of other issues.

So, yeah, so I supported Trump.

And that doesn't mean that I will forever be a Republican voter.

But but, yeah, I tend to follow my heart and I try to remain independent.

I'm millennial, yeah.

I'm like an older millennial, born in 82, so I'm 43.

I'm very not Gen X though.

There's a big, there's a big differentiator.

And that is that I grew up as a digital native.

So I'm like fully chronically online and like, yeah, my brain is like wired into the, I'm definitely not Gen X. Millennials are now actually in their forties.
