And in this case, I mean, like non-voters.
And so like for somebody that's just trying to live their life and go through their day,

But, but the second thing, you know, I want to say is like, the choice was clear for me with my particular history.

in that article is because I was trying to reconstruct the memories of other people.
That is to say, if you are an Arab American or you're a Muslim American, you're a Palestinian American, and you're in this country in 2024, and let's say you're 30 years old, what you remember is you remember Iraq, you remember Afghanistan, you remember

You know, it's constant.
And it was constant for my parents, too.
