They know who he is.

Um, no, but it's funny.

No, I mean, so I keep thinking and among my friend of circles were always like some Latino must have broken his heart.

Like something must have happened in that high school in Santa Monica.

Like

something must have happened because since like, he has been dreaming of this moment since he was in high school, right?

Since he was literally like writing the, remember?

Like he was literally like writing letters in his high school, essentially saying that janitors, the Latino janitors were there to like pick up his trash and that they weren't doing it.

And that those other Latino students around him, they had to assimilate.

So he's been like dreaming up this moment forever.

But going back to this white supremacist thing, in 2022, one of the things that Stephen Miller does in his group, America First or America Legal First, they go...

into Spanish language counties in Colorado.

And they're specifically spreading out Spanish language flyers with transphobic messaging.

and wrapped into kind of this like Christian messaging of the right and wrong, which is, it all goes back to this like, you know, divine calling of like, this is our calling.

And I think Stephen Miller, not to give him too much credit, but I think they're all betting on this idea that you really pointed out, which is that there's something about this Christian and transphobic message that would trigger a moral panic that is familiar among some of us Latinos, right?

That grew up in these,

colonized countries where these gender norms were very much ingrained.

And the lines between state and church have always been very blurry.

And that something about this transphobic, like Christian language would work.

And it did.
