But I also want to talk about just the nature of how the media tends to cover Like this is a political story, you know, because we know that there's a tendency for political media to treat everything as a distant game, a horse race, literally, whether we're in an election cycle or not, like a who's winning, who's losing every day.

And I want to speak to what Brittany just said about these 75 year cycles, right? You know, one of these facts that gets lost that there's only one person who lived from 1848 to vote, like who was at the Seneca Falls Convention. Oh, wow. There's one person. who was still alive to cast a vote, one woman who was alive to cast a vote after the ratification of the 19th Amendment.

She was a child who was at Seneca Falls. I had her name and I don't have it now, but think about what that means generationally, right? And so you're gonna see, I already, resistance has collapsed, right? This is one of my least favorite things happening in the media right now is this notion, we're sitting here talking about pausing, resting, sitting still, listening, watching, right?

Not behaving the way we did, but I wanna be real clear about something. The storyline that the resistance failed last time, first of all, what is the resistance? Is it the guys like in the Mueller time t-shirts or is it people who were running for office and fundamentally changed the Democratic Party?

Honestly, like it's the most crucial infusion of new blood and a new generation into the Democratic Party of our lifetimes, which is... process that needs to continue and is continuing. We've seen, you know, Run for Something, which is the tremendous organization that trains first-time candidates to run for office, had record number of signups in the weeks after the election in November.

So this idea that there's just like a deadness and a passivity is not accurate. Secondly, this question of the resistance failed, is it because Trump wasn't put in jail? Because he wasn't impeached? Because the things, the systems that certain people believed were gonna save them in fact didn't save them? Okay, but that's different from saying that,

resistance in his first administration failed because during his first administration, you had a record-breaking 2018 where you did have this infusion of new energy, where you had AOC, you had the squad. It changed the face of American politics and was the biggest blue wave since the Nixon administration.
