Like most people in this country have been struggling since Reagan reconstructed how we work as a society.
So like to me,
This is awful in the short term, but it's necessitating like major shifts in how we go forward.
And it's just frittering away support for Trump and his bullshit every single bad thing they do.
And I think it just opens the gate for like actual substantial change down the line.
It's just a question of like, do we trust Democrats to fucking capitalize on it and make.
actual functional changes where like Americans can look and see European systems coming in and social democracy coming in in a way that like changes the construction of wealth in this country and comfort and care.
I think it's possible.
And that's like, that's the part of my head where I'm like, I'm angry, but I'm also still optimistic just because of how bad he is.
It is going to burn out a lot of support for this stuff.
You're right.
I mean, Germany is a great analog for that.
Like, yes, it's, you know, we're about 80 plus years after the fact, but you look at it and you go, I mean, they're fucking awesome now.
And then when you bring up that time, they're like, I don't want to talk about that.
That's we're not going back.
Yeah, no, it's great.
I mean, it's great.
Great's the wrong word.
