I think it's actually very possible
that the Democratic Party does well this November and then lapses into thinking that its job is just to put everything back the way it was.
This is what happened in 2022.
Yeah.
And you could see that again.
You know, again, being here in Iowa has given me flashbacks to 2019, 2020.
The whole idea of me running, it wasn't just generational change.
It was very much a, we can't return to normal kind of message.
It was the idea that there's no going back to the old ways.
Partly because that was what my whole formative experience in South Bend, Indiana was.
That we couldn't, you know, we were the city that...
is best known, of course, because Notre Dame is there, but we were the company town for Studebaker and lost our biggest employer, this huge auto company, 20 years before I was even born.
My whole youth and upbringing, we were still licking our wounds from that.
And when I become mayor, basically 50 years after Studebaker closes,
there's still crumbling factories all over the city and we're still figuring out what we're going to be next.
And there's still a temptation to say, well, we're going to go back and get that somehow.
And so, you know, part of the whole reason I got into elected office was saying like, we're not going to make South Bend great again.
Like we're doing something new and different only to worry that my party has taken the same turn of actually in a weird way.
We'd never say it.
But in a weird way, sometimes I think Democrats are giving out off the impression that what we want to do is just get the world to look the way it looked.
