But that is the important— And I think people need to know that we see them and we don't see them as the problem, right? Because I do think, to the finger-wagging point, so much of politics is about what people think you think of them or how you make people feel about themselves.

Before people even start to decide what they think about you, they're thinking about how you make them feel about themselves. Right. And this is a struggle, especially because I belong to a party that has deep moral convictions. And you could argue we take it too far, whatever.

But we are propelled by a lot of deep moral convictions, whether we're talking about an economy where we think that it's too easy for the wealthy and too hard to work your way up, or whether we're talking about a society where we're worried about racial justice and marginalized groups. Yeah.

But there is a way to engage people who don't start with where you, you can't lead people to where they already are anyway. One thing I think about a lot is right around the time I came out, which is like a terrifying thing to do as a like elected official in Indiana, right?

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah. No, honestly, what happened was, you know, you when you get deployed, they tell you to write a letter. And I still have it in a drawer somewhere. And it's the letter. It's just says just in case on the outside. Wow. And it's everything that you want your loved ones to know. From your internet passwords to how you feel your life went, right? Everybody should do this, by the way.

You shouldn't have to wait to be sent to war to do this. And I was the sitting mayor of my hometown because I was a reservist. So I got deployed while I was in office.

I had a good life.
