authentic communication and non-authentic communication, in part because they've watched Donald Trump show the country what authentic communication full of mistakes looks like. The town halls are amazing. Any Democrat can show up anywhere right now, and you will have thousands of people coming out. I think it's really important to be in Republican districts.

in part because if you are trying to build a true national movement, you have got to sort of show that even in the red parts of the country, folks are having second thoughts. And so if you're just having big turnouts in blue states, that doesn't really ultimately move the needle.

So I don't think it's coincidental that, you know, once we started to see red states turning out, like what Bernie did in, you know, Idaho, and I think he was in—

somewhere in the Mountain West other than Idaho, you started seeing Trump's approval ratings move down into the low 40s because Republican or prior Trump voters looked around and they said, oh, I guess others who voted for Trump, others who live in places that look like the place I live in, have now have the same misgivings that I do.

So that's why Max and I have been primarily going only to Republican districts, and I think we'll continue doing that.

So I have a little bit of a different perspective than a lot of my colleagues do on Republicans right now. I really worry that we're giving Republicans too much credit, this idea that they know what the right thing to do is and they aren't doing it because they are scared of Donald Trump or scared of losing an election.

I think way more Republicans than you think have in their heart given up on the project of democracy. This work to undermine democracy inside the Republican Party that's been, you know, handled and midwifed in part by the pseudo-intellectual infrastructure that surrounds MAGA, you know, it's been ongoing for a decade. It's deep. It's serious.

And so especially in the House of Representatives, I think the vast majority of Republicans there are absolutely willing to give up on elections if that guarantees Republicans rule forever. Many Republicans, most Republicans in Congress have come to the conclusion that progressives writ large are an existential threat to the nation.
