going to tell you how to vote. yeah. and that became a very interesting dynamic which i saw play out in my time, both in local politics and national politics to where we are now in this disturbing space that robert writes about. you know, i mean, look, we re to the point now where even in the state of maryland, the mild mannered state of maryland, the guy running for governor, this guy, cox, he is a far right maga maryland could go this direction. it s a tossup. if maryland goes to the republicans this time, maryland could be another state that has an election denier in it. can you talk a little bit though, robert, about the internationalization of this? viktor orban who talks about race mixing, to the point where one of his advisers quit, it s international. this movement is not just in the united states, right, robert? yeah, that s correct. we re seeing it imported via fox
