Here's my explanation.

And the Trump administration has been we've started this war.

And if you don't like it, screw you, then you're not on our side.

And that that's not working for them.

I don't just show that's not working for them.

Can I just add something to that?

I think all that's true, and it begs the question, though, where is the opposition party planting a flag of being anti-war and anti-imperial adventures and anti-massacring civilians all around the Middle East?

I mean, where are they?

There are one-off

Democratic lawmakers here and there who have given really forceful remarks.

And certainly, you know, lots of them have come out and said they're not going to vote for supplemental funding for the Iran war.

But I mean, this is a moment, you know, as Tom says, where the administration is losing the American people for like completely legitimate reasons.

And I am I am

every day longing for somebody to step into that void and present a different future, a different vision for America's role in the world, one that does not involve wreaking chaos and death all around the world.

And I'm just really disappointed, frankly, that I have not seen that happen.

Can I make a point about the thing Jasper just said, though?

I mean, I worked on Capitol Hill during the first Gulf War, which I just sort of dated myself and revealed my age, I guess.

But, you know, it's a really...

It's a tight needle to thread once troops are actually in the field to come out and say, you know, we're going to stop Donald Trump, because at this point, the attempts to invoke the War Powers Act have failed.

And the War Powers Act is a pretty poorly designed piece of legislation to begin with.
