saying yeah but i feel like i feel like now i i don't know i just feel like i've seen like more a little bit more like diversity in thinking of some people who would like vote right wing and the fact that like a lot of them seem to even like support drug legalization a lot of them have kind of like come to terms with letting you know allowing uh same-sex marriage and things like that right and uh no that's a good point curious i'm curious like where where this is going because even like in a few years from now like what what are they uh what what are the what's the party going to look like and what is their vote what are their base and their voters going to look like if this continues i feel like they could win over a lot of uh people on some of those issues that yeah i mean what you're what you're pointing to is that there were a bunch of people who before trump were never politically engaged or motivated at all and what trump was able to do was find people who never paid attention to politics and basically say here are your values and vote for me and i'm a republican so trump did to his credit bring in people who believe themselves to be for example against military interventions around the world because trump claimed to be against that but trump's not really against that it was just a way that he was able to criticize george w bush um you're right that they don't seem to be homophobic uh some of these folks at least not outwardly so because donald trump did not make that a big part of his campaign i think you're absolutely right but i think the bigger question is do those people really stay engaged in politics after trump is gone and we don't know the answer to that yet they may or they may bail okay yeah well it's it's just been really interesting it's just all the time i say these days if i could like go back in time and tell myself like this would be the environment would look like NUMBER_TOKEN years from now it i would be shocked yes it would anyways it would i thank you have a good one all right there we go there's uh there's felix let's go um so many different folks wanting to chat today let's go next to glenn from virginia glenn you're on the air hi david can you hear me i can hear you just fine okay great this is my first time calling thanks for taking the call pleasure uh my my question for you is with respect to voting rights uh just to give you context i am an african-american in my mid-forties and i fear that uh there will likely be no meaningful voting rights legislation uh coming down the pipeline so my question for you is do you think the democrats mischaracterized well let me rephrase instead of saying mischaracterized do you think that they did a poor job in messaging as you know so much with respect to legislation comes down to messaging and what i mean by that is uh with voting rights legislation do you think the democrats would have done themselves uh more of a service if they sold it as an issue for the less powerful the less connected uh
