think that Washington is corrupt and they think that it makes it harder to solve things because it's corrupt. So if the president will go out there and be the advocate of honest, clear reform, and if that's the basic theme that Elon Musk and Doge take, they're going to have huge popular support for fixing this thing.

And under Biden and Harris, every signal to young people was that their lives were going to be poorer, more miserable, with fewer choices than their parents. And so at one level, they're saying this isn't working. Second, I think that there's a common sense when you get into some of the weirder issues that Should men compete in women's sports, for example?
