They can't do it forever. If they win, of course, then those same wins validate why they won. It was like they were always ready to just, you know, flip the switch and turn it on. So anything in the past can prove anything, right? Like all these things that people have been saying about Harris, if she had won, would still be part of the discourse. It would just be, see, it was right, it was true.

You know, so it's like, because all this discourse is just, it's... I hate to say it, but it is clearly just made up. And what drives me crazy is there's a bunch of people listening to this podcast right now who are hearing me say this. And they're saying like, of course, how did you not know this? We all know this. And they're justified in saying that. It's like, I...

I don't fucking know what's going on. I don't know what's happening. I don't know what's happening in the world. I have to accept it. I have to accept that I have no idea what's happening. Because I don't. I'm not saying this from this position of outrage. I'm saying this from a position of sort of like, I guess in some ways vulnerability.

Like just my recognition that I am now receiving my understanding about life through external sources that are not giving me a real depiction of what's happened.

Like if Ohio State plays Michigan and it's 28-3 at halftime and half the crowd leaves and then the end, the final score ends up being like 31-24. It still feels like a blowout. That's kind of how it was. Like, I think some people felt like, I'm gonna have to stay up all night to see who wins this election. And it was over so quickly.

It kind of creates the sense that it was a bigger blowout than it was. I just, I guess now I'm pretty skeptical of this idea. You're saying like, well, if they had done this messaging, Or if they had sort of been better at explaining this, it would have... I feel maybe people now are just voting for full administrations, one of which they felt was moving left, one of which was moving right.

And the sense is, we've just gone too far left. We need to tack back the other way. I think that's probably what it was. That's why I say like I really doubt it would have made a difference if there had been an open primary, if Trump had been killed and Nikki Haley or whatever had taken over or J.D. Vance had been the candidate. I think that people were going to vote not about the person,
