Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Exactly.

Yeah, no, it's really true. And I think something that what makes this go around with Trump so much more dangerous than the first time around is exactly what you're saying. It's that he is much more normalized this time around. than he was the first time. The first time people were really on edge, they were on guard, they were very vigilant about any break that he would have with these norms.

This time, the norms are becoming him, like the norms are embracing him. Even these like little things that people may not, like everyday working people may not care about, but they are strong cultural signals. Oscar de la Renta, like dressing all of the women, like there's all these cultural symbols, right?

Exactly, exactly.

Exactly, exactly.

So like all of these people that were scared before about like being associated with him from the most common basic level to the most elite level, they're all like, they're all all in now because- This is now a billionaire feeding frenzy. It is a kiss-ass race. It is... Man. It is, how can I show how much fealty I have to Donald Trump in order to get my digs?

And I think what's really important for people to understand and like, now and every day of this administration is that you're being ripped off. You're being ripped off, dude. Like everyone is being ripped off and he goes up there and he says what he wants to say, but he's like, he's just the quintessential New York con man.

Yeah. I mean, even, but the thing is like, it will still be hidden, even if you make it explicit, A, like these meme coins. People do not really understand, nor should they, frankly, in a lot of ways, crypto.

But if, God forbid, your job requires you to understand this, one of the things about crypto, I mean, at the end of the day, a lot of crypto is just scamming poor people and money laundering for wealthy people.

I think actually like when you look at how, for example, Putin has operated in Russia and the way they've been able to kind of take things over in these oligarchies, these kleptocracies, They prey on that exact logic, on that exact predicate, which is that everyone's corrupt and it's all corrupt. And so who gives a fuck? Sorry. Right.

How dare you? At long last, have you no decency? And you might as well just get yours. And the problem with that is that we just entirely give up on a better world. Like that's the crux of it. It's to get good people to just give up and say, this is just how the world works now. And I might as well just throw up my hands. And the fact of the matter is like, I know this is hard.

Maybe this is something like I would say or whatever, but like, I think it actually is important to understand that there are good people and we should be doing good things. And when we decide to make that the norm, And when we decide to uphold it and value it, and even regardless of party, yeah, like don't vote for the people who are doing bad things, whether they're a Democrat or a Republican.
