I feel like there's this disconnect between the voters and what the politicians are doing, which is, you know, like cutting Social Security, trying to balance the budget, stuff like that. And ultimately, we saw that that contradiction resolved by Trump, who, you know, is giving the voters all these kind of atomistic or giving into their urges.
