And it's going to take that kind of movement.
And we've got to also address some of those in our own silos that don't understand that.
So I'll have people in black churches say to me, how can you stand up for gay rights in same-sex marriage?
I said, because they have the right to do that.
And once you start limiting people's rights, then they can limit your rights.
Nobody's forcing you to believe in whatever lifestyle, but how do you have the right to decide somebody else's lifestyle?
And I think that when we all that are visible in our silos stand up and defend the fact that we've got to work with everybody, then I think that we will have a movement they can't stop.
Because Trump and others, they major and master divide and conquer.
And if we can break that, I think that we can turn this clock back.
I'm very concerned about it because I think that, and I'm happy you raised it, I think we're ignoring that he's incubated this.
And we are not on the other side incubating.
One of the things that I've tried to do with National Action Network is develop young leaders and give them the head of our chapters.
They are out front in our rallies.
Because we've got to incubate people and we've got to incubate them to have comfort level across different silos.
Because that's the only way it's going.
We can't let leaders die and the movement die with them.
And I think that the incubation of what has happened on the right, what Donald Trump has done, is a danger to my grandchildren, great grandchildren, if I have it.
And we've got to understand that.
It's not going to end with the personality of Donald Trump.
So even in 28, when he leaves office, and he's going to try not to, I think, but when he leaves office, it doesn't mean this is over.
