And so there's a lot to learn from what happened in Maricopa County.
You can have that scenario.
What I'm also seeing are, and this is a sad part that we never talk about, there is a group of Latinos
Some U.S.
born, many that live in mixed status families that have had enough, that have been living in the shadows, not just under Trump, but also under an Obama administration and a Biden administration and previous Democratic administrations that promise comprehensive immigration reform time and time again.
And I cannot tell you the amount of conversations I've had with people that wake up every day and say, is it time to go?
Do I self-deport or not?
And I follow many of those people that are packing up their bags and choosing to go.
And the sad part is, is that there's something very liberating about saying I've had enough.
And there's something dignified of that choice, at least when it's your choice.
So that's also happening.
And then I think you have the other scenario, which I can sense from organizers that are finally kind of still feel mistrust with both parties, but feel a sense of belonging, in a sense of they're finding their voice in this like anti-Trump world.
Because they somehow,
And I think you and I feel the same way.
They somehow understand that it's worth fighting for.
Going back to this idea that this multiracial, multicultural, pluralistic coalition is worth fighting for and that it is the only hope to get to that more just version of this experiment that we're all living in.
And so I see those three scenarios.
you know, sometimes I feel like I'm the most cynical person on earth because, you know, I cover a lot of these stories, but oftentimes, and my dad reminds me, like, you know, there's something that connects all of us Latinos, whether you're a Trump supporter or not, someone in your family, somewhere, someone believed that it was worth it to come here because of whatever we left behind and told us that it was worth fighting for here.
And, you know, my dad is cheesy.
I believe him sometimes.
