Yeah, it's really something.
And like, if you want to know whether you're a monster, ask yourself the question, am I comfortable with that story being told in my children's classroom?
And if the answer is no, then you need to go to church, man.
Well, that's just the only relief is that, like, if these folks do what they were doing, this is really dangerous.
Yeah.
Like, this is so absurd that, like, this isn't going to stick.
You know, I mean, the history book I just read you, that's dangerous.
Yeah.
Because it's written in a measured way, even though the idea isn't measured.
I mean, the political violence is scary.
And everybody, everybody in one of those offices should sort of tone it down.
Every politician knows how to run a populist campaign.
They just have all chosen not to for a very long time.
What you don't want to end up is an America where you have
80% of us just trying to raise our kids.
And then on both extremes, you have the American versions of the IRA for the next 100 years.
And the political violence, even if we tamp it down, even if we sort of get out of this moment and find some sort of radical center to return to, the lesson from 1955 and Emmett Till
Is that once unleashed, political violence cannot be controlled.
And it has a very, very, very, very, very long tail.
And so the scary thing is that what's being unleashed now, even if like our better angels emerge and everybody is like, shit, we got to like.
