bad words if you re, you know, a small-c conservative to monitor you and watch you and tell you what you can read. i mean, it s literally out of the 50s and mccarthyism. but like i said, republicans are resurrecting the worst chapters, the worst ideas, rejected by history. and now, embracing them. it s something, you know, that trump liked to do. remember, he sort of wanted to bring back operation wet back and he was for jailing journalists. and really, you know, liked the 1950s gender norms, and thought those should be brought back. but, all this stuff that history long ago decided was oppressive, was bad, was anti-democratic, republicans are like discovering anew. and without any shame pushing it onto their voters. appreciate the conversation. thank you, s.e. yeah, anytime. gerrymander out of office? my next guest says that s why he is not running again.
