Like, how nervous should we be?
That is the technical term, yes.
All right.
So domestically speaking, it feels like the trickiest position is is the one that congressional Republicans are in who they have to own a war they didn't really want.
They never voted to approve and yet are now having to publicly defend as they're going into high stakes midterm elections, which are generally a referendum on the president.
Is this going to bite them, do we think?
Just on gas prices alone?
Yeah, I think you're seeing that with both sides.
And it feeds into the overall distrust of institutions.
And if you talk to younger folks, younger voters in particular, are just suspicious of the parties.
But this brings us back to our red scare that we mentioned earlier.
Jamel, you just wrote a piece about
How Trump is bringing back the classical American political tactic of red baiting.
So much fun.
And so rather than focusing on his own record, he's going to spend the midterm run up accusing Democrats of being communists and of aiming to turn America into a communist country.
So like now this like so much of what he does, this really feels stuck in the past.
But kind of how does what's happening now compare with, say, the 1950s and McCarthyism?
Wow.
Doesn't he seem hip and modern?
OK, so I take the differences in the reality that you're talking about.
