So we'll have to see if maybe it shifts over to Trump being the one holding up the DHS funding.

But I think it's something where it really does make a difference to people.

And it causes a ripple effect through the economy probably too, because I'm sure people who don't have to fly are probably saying it's not a good time to fly.

Maybe they'll start now.

now that they don't have the expectation that they've got to plan four hours in advance to get to the airport.

But it's a big deal to people.

I think everything is geared from that lens.

How can we get back in power?

And so I think based on that, they're going to resist everything Trump does.

They're going to try and paint it all as horrible no matter what he does.

Even if it is an 80 20 issue that everybody else agrees with, they're going to try and say, look at the 20%, look at the, you know, look at the bad part.

Um, and they're going to try and, um, find any way they can to, um,

convince people to vote for them.

But I think they do it in a very misguided way because I think they're mostly just pandering to their base.

And by their base, I mean the fringe left.

They keep shifting further left because that seems to be the ones that are most rabidly opposed to Trump and most aligned with all the arguments they end up coming up with.

to say, oh, look how horrible Trump is and look how everything he does is bad.

The moderates, they're not

They're not appealing to those people from what I can tell.

It doesn't seem like they really understand or they're not very smart about saying, you know what, we need to shift towards the center.
