So what I'm pointing out is that when I say, you asked me how is it occurring, and I'm explaining that cascade and the social media, but there's something that's left out of that picture, which is where's the pushback? matched
And it's not because the public isn't there. matched
In fact, as I'm explaining to you, two-thirds to 70% of the public matched
routinely, survey after survey, abhors political violence. matched
And that is that missing factor that can actually, maybe not fully solve our problem, but can help us to get through these social changes that we're experiencing it without breaking the country apart. matched
Because now the country is, as I'm explaining to you, becoming more radicalized over time. matched
That's what those numbers in our survey show. matched
But there's still a large, the majority of the country today abhors political violence, but they don't have a good spokes, they don't have the leaders, they don't have the vehicle to express it. matched
Where does it tend to be expressed the most, I would point out, is on podcasts. matched
So I don't necessarily want to give one side benefit because I've been on so many. matched
I don't want to sort of – but if you push me, I can name some. matched
But I'm just telling you that there are literally folks in the media who have over the last several years – matched
taken it on as, if not their number one mission, number two or three, to really try to give voice to this silent majority that abhors political violence. matched
And that on social media is something that could grow. matched
And I'm just pointing out that it's not because they're the minority. matched
It's they're a silent majority, meaning that there hasn't been created the natural vehicles, the natural leaders in order to vocalize that. matched
But this is truly the missing weapon against the rise of violent populism that we're experiencing in our country. matched
need is a focal point to bring that normalization of political violence into concrete action. matched
This is what I mean by a wildfire analogy. matched
This is what I said earlier when I was explaining what we're heading toward with the American domestic escalation trap, this cycle I'm about to explain. matched
