And so anyway, they are as well positioned to take this thing over and run it as anything I've seen in my life. Obviously, we are very, very enthusiastically pulling for them.

I mean, after what I've been through in the last decade, could it get worse than it's been? Anything is possible. How bad would it have to be for it to be worse than how it's been? Pretty bad. I would just say this. The last decade has been highly educational, extremely educational. And we have put a lot of thought into this and a lot of work into this.

By the way, the other thing is look like you know this, but like a lot of this has changed. Like there has been like significant migration on both sides on a lot of different issues over the course of the last 10 or 15 years. You know, we, you know, as you know, we live in a very different political environment than we did 20 years ago. And so I think there's.

You know, we, you know, as you know, we live in a very different political environment than we did 20 years ago. And so I think there's.

There's this natural shifting where the animating issues of 20 years ago are not the animating issues today. Let me just give you one example. Gay marriage 20 years ago was, like, a very potent political issue in the Valley. But, like, that issue's done, right?

And by the way, now I have all these gay friends who are, like, super pro-Trump because, like, that issue's done and, like, Trump's not going to, you know, like, that's finished. The other thing is, like, you know, the neocon thing. Like, 20 years ago, Iraq was a giant motivating thing.

It's like, well, you know, the one thing we know, at least God willing, we'd hope that we know, is, like, we're not going to do that again. Right. And so, like, it's just no longer an issue.

I understand, and I'm sure those fights are going to happen, and I'm just telling you, like, I don't—like, I'm fine with it. Like, on everything that you just described, I'm fine with it. Like, whatever. I'm fine with it because, you know, this is the old thing. It's like, you know, what's the difference between the left and the right? The left wants revolution. The right wants not the left.

The right wants not the left.

Of course, that's true. And look, you could say over the last 200 years, the left over time has won most of the fights, or even all the fights. I'm just telling you, for the day-to-day reality that I live in, and for the time horizon I can deal with, which is like, you know, I call it a decade at a time. Like, I just, yeah, this last decade, like, no, no more of that. Like, no.

What happened in this last decade and this last five years, like, everything that we talked about in this thing, like, no, we're not, like, this is not going to happen again. And there are a gazillion issues on the right that people are going to argue with. And they can argue, and most of them, like, we're not even going to be involved in.

And even on the ones where we have a dog in the hunt, like, whatever tradeoff is made, whatever the president decides, I'm 100% certain it's going to be better than what we've been dealing with. There's another part to it, though, which is, as you know, the Democratic Party has a set of decisions to make.
