And now we have some real wolves in the henhouse.

Right.

Like people like Nick Fuentes or the virulent anti-Semitism of Candace Owens.

Right.

And I think people have been so desensitized to accusations of racism being thrown around all the time.

I mean, huge swaths of the population were really invested in anti-racism in 2020, 2021.

Bestsellers, you know, Ibram X. Kendi, Robin DiAngelo are best.

Like there's a huge cultural investment in it.

Coming up...

I think until folks on the left side of the aisle come up with a sort of successor to wokeness, we're going to be kind of in a cultural vacuum.

Yeah, I think it's like a slightly more rough around the edges version of wokeness that is substantively committed to the same basic ideals around being pro-immigration, gender equality, so on and so forth.

But shorn of some of the sort of like academies and, you know, the kind of polish that you usually see from the sort of establishment set, you know.

So and I also think an important part of it, right, is about fighting.

Right.

Like that.

No, we are actually going to take the fight to the other side.

I think, you know, however you feel about Gavin Newsom, but he is somebody who has really been sort of aggressive, has been trolling the Trump administration, is willing to throw around some curse words and really posture a bit more than I think we've seen in the past.

You know, I actually think it's because he's pretty squarely avoided identity politics.

I mean, the people, you know, the campaign that was doing identity politics in New York was not Mamdani.

It was Andrew Cuomo, who was launching attacks about his alleged, quote unquote, anti-Semitism.
