And I've been thinking about how do you fight back against Trump in a smart way, sort of in a writ large, because we are so susceptible to sort of this Trump derangement syndrome dynamic. We've been screaming about democracy and rights and the rule of law for so long. And clearly this country voted for someone who incited an insurrection.

And I've been thinking about how do we fight smart in a macro way? And how do we recognize that there are two different standards for the parties? And those two different standards make a lot more sense when you recognize that they are just the replication of sexism and misogyny. The Democratic Party is the woman of politics and the Republican Party is the man of politics.

It's why Donald Trump can scream and yell and people see him as strong and why when we scream and yell, we're seen as hysterical and shrill. It's why Donald Trump can hate and insult more than half of this country.

Because we tolerate deadbeat dads, but Democrats can't say anything about any voters that impugns their motives and their good faith because a mom has to love every single one of her children. And so I've been thinking about how do you grapple with that reality? That is a real double standard. We can't pretend that it doesn't exist. Marginalization doesn't stop in politics.

We recognize it exists in our individual lives systemically. It exists in our politics. And so we have to grapple with the world as it is to change it. And I've been thinking about how does a woman successfully push back, you know, navigate a workplace, a world where so often her passion is held against her. And the socially acceptable path

And I've been thinking about how does a woman successfully push back, you know, navigate a workplace, a world where so often her passion is held against her. And the socially acceptable path

for a woman to fight back, unfortunately, is when she is defending her flock, when she is defending her family. And I think we as a party would do well in replicating the strategies that women so have to employ to successfully navigate this world.

And instead of fighting back in a way that makes Trump the main character, fight back in a way that makes consistently our constituents, individual people, human beings the main character, Trump can be a supporting character. But we do fall in this trap of making him the main character.

And I think if we always, always, always keep it local, keep it centered on our constituents, on people that we're defending, not only does it allow us to fight back and have that passion in a way that is heard the way we want it to be heard, but I also think it helps to reinforce for a voter the answer to the question that I said at the start, which is, do you care about me? Do you like me?

Because I think people think we don't like them.

Right, right, right. I mean – I mean you are 100 percent right that we want a rules – the rule of law. We want basic common decency and we want a government that provides equality under the law for every person. And even if that weren't true, we would have to grapple with the double standard.
