to contest or disagree with the president on that. that there s no space for anyone to have an independent view on any matter. no. there is only one view and that s trump s view. and to mickey s point, that s what makes this all so very dangerous. we will have to do serious rebuilding. not just the republican marty, which is somewhat irrelevant in the overall scheme of democracy because we ve talken ourselves so far outside. we re not even near a stream. year in the middle of nowhere with donald trump screaming at us. but that s the problem for therist of us as we try to put back in place those institutions that have safeguarded not just our domestic security but our foreign security as well. and it makes it much harder to do when you second guess and doubt everything that you hear, see, and read. and that s the idea behind it all. thank you both, gentleman.
the other fix here is our civic duty to engage in democracy doesn t end on election day. we get the conversation totally gets hijacked by these extreme voices, like the tea party, right? and in the midst of that, there are regular americans that need to continue to be engaged after the election, but they are not. so those voices of the every day people who could sway politicians just doesn t get heard. i still have hope. it was our failure. i stopped, we stopped on election day, we expected to invest our hope in him. what he said at the convention, i have hope in you, and he s calling for to us have hope in him too. he did come out and repeal don t ask, don t tell. kind of came out for marriage equality and created a pathway for citizenship. there has been enough that to me that he s done revolutionary to hope for a second term. mickey s point, one he doesn t want to government.
