That's a novel argument that you just came up with, right?
We haven't just spent eight years of hearing about Russia all the time, right? That Russian interference is the reason that Donald Trump won. or the electoral college or whatever.
Yeah, I disagree with you because I'm not of the right. I recently I went to an event in in Greenwich Village with Donald Trump and badgered him about the amount of money that he added to the debt before COVID. And that doesn't even get into the fact that his COVID policies were disastrous. He's the reason we locked down. He disowns the vaccines that he helped produce in record time.
I'm not, you know, of the right and I'm not covering my ass. Yeah. But so, you know, and Donald Trump presents unique challenges. He's a horrible human being. He is probably going to be something of a disaster, but he is not an extinction level threat.
And if that is what we're going to hinge everything on is that Donald Trump uniquely among American presidents is the person who's going to bring it all down. I mean, that is on you guys to explain why that didn't happen the first time.
So you're definitely reaching the plurality of American voters who voted for him and said, hey, you know what, Tim?
Like Donald Trump won. So what do you do now? Well, I do you fight and do you like push your causes?
So you're on this side of the debate. Nobody here... I-I haven't heard you, Matt, say, well, Donald Trump won, so now I'm going to become a devotee of Donald Trump or his coalition.
You know, that was the one vote I didn't waste.
I would have thought that was a disqualifying action by Donald Trump.
No, no, no. But what I'm saying is like, you know, he left office. He left office. You know, pathetically, he can't admit that he lost in 2020, but he left office and he didn't glue keyboard, you know, keyboard letters down and things like that. But he just won.
but he just died but he just won again in a fair and open election sure and nobody you don't see the democrats being like yeah oh well now it's you know this was stolen um yeah so what's your point
What do you do now? Do you keep talking about how it's really a shame that Donald Trump won in the first place and then won on the second term?
And, you know, the question isn't what we should be doing, because we know what we're doing. We're fighting to limit the size, scope, and spending of government at every point, at every election, in every policy choice. What are you guys doing? And because you chose to be so anti-Trump in a particular way that you don't have any leverage with anybody.
LAUGHTER
I'm living my best life, so thank you.
Yeah, okay. Do we have a video to start or something here? Please hit the video.
So that's a prophecy from a 2004 South Park episode. The question, we know that we are always choosing between giant douches and turd sandwiches. The question is, how do we get to something better than that? And what I would argue is by breaking free and showing the political parties that are shrinking in mind share and market share in the latest Gallup poll,
30 of people called themselves republican 26 called themselves democrat 42 called themselves independent we need to show our independence in order to get out of this scenario where we are constantly just voting for either a giant douche or a turd sandwich thank you very much sarah longwell
Can I just ask, is anybody going to get those cookies?
