I think you've got to actually – I just did an event with Robert Rice, who's actually a real intellectual last night, ex-Secretary of Labor, and everybody's woke grandpa.

And he was like this in the he's like the antidote to feeling depressed is activism.

Get active.

And really, that can mean different things for different people.

But you have to do it.

You can't just sort of it's not just going to happen on its own.

I will say that it will take a lot more of us than we think.

to work our way out of this, the way you said it.

We have to work our way.

It's like a car stuck in the mud on a rainy day.

It's not just going to come out.

And you can wait for it to dry, but then you wait for the rain.

But that's not going to get you where you need to go at the right time.

No, no.

I just posted a video yesterday where people always ask me, what can I do?

And I was like, well, the first thing you can do, there's lots of things to do, but the first thing you can do is call it fascism because that's what it is right now.

Agreed.

When the president is sending troops into American cities, even though the governors and mayors of those places don't want the troops there, that's fascism.

When the president is prosecuting his political enemies like Comey, that's fascism.

When the president wants the generals to swear a loyalty oath to him, not to the Constitution, which is who they swear it to, but to him, that's fascism.
