undoing each other's work every 4-8 years

at the end of it all is just death and just try not to get uh you know die early or die i don't know how to fix um i don't know how to fix the fed and state relationship there

I feel like that's really important. I don't know how Republicans exist, and I also don't know how Democrats exist. Like I just literally don't know how that happens.

Like, you must have one side or the other is bigoted or something. Like, how do you know that 49% of the country disagrees with you and 51 agrees with you? How do you, like,

How do you know that? I guess we don't... I guess we don't know each other's politics, do we? And that's why we say not to talk politics. Because then it would change things. We should talk politics. And it should ruin relationships. And then we come back to it. And try again. I know I'm not very wise.

and I'm not the person to give advice, but it just seems like a deliberative democracy is far better than one that is not. Try not to mention the jabs, but I feel guilty.

I feel like I have to say something about it. It doesn't really help anything, but maybe it helps my progress. I'm not sure. It's like a hole that I just keep falling back into. I get out of, and I walk around. I, oop, there's a hole, oop, and I, you know, I'm gone. I get out, pick myself up, walk around, walk around, walk around, oop, down the hole again, down the rabbit hole, in my mind.

Don't zone out. It's like, it's like somebody is cursed at me and destroy everything. And I, my mind can't, like my mind just wants to fester and, and figure out what is going on basically and why.

just eating itself. I don't know what I have to say to get people to listen, but I'm definitely not lying about this, the jolts. They really do happen. I do consider myself a hostage.

To me, winning is this statement, and it used to not be like that. I think I can just, I can, over time, I think I can unprogram that, to not say this sort of thing with the lack of control.

You know, we need to repair the Fed and state relationship. And I don't know, maybe... Aren't you all tired of the division? Well, I guess the people in politics are sort of tired of it. And the citizens, too, that know about it.

If you're just going about your day and don't talk politics and you come home and watch the game, then I guess it doesn't concern you until something happens like you're in jail and you're for bail reform at that point or you need affordable housing built because you can't afford the place you're living in.

or the LIHEAP program is faulty. The lion's all out of order. I remember making a quote about this. It's like,

These are more than just like who can run the country better. I feel like as people age and as they get into the middle class or the higher middle class and they get older, it's more of like a rivalry thing of like who can

Oh, I prefer Hillary Clinton and not Trump, you know, but in reality, these are like actual, like executive orders, you know what I mean? Um, these are actual reports and articles from the homeland security department of the DHS saying for the state to not slander

So there's like a, there's such a divide that I think that Abraham Lincoln would lose his fucking mind. He'd probably blow his own fucking brain out. But he said, what did he say? A nation divided does not stand or something like this. And that's what we are. We're so divided and it's getting worse.

Like it's actually getting worse. It doesn't appear that it's getting worse, but it is. But I'm wondering if... I don't know. I just... We have to break something. We're gonna have to break some rules here. We're gonna have to, we're gonna have to like, executive order and fix a bunch of shit.

And these executive orders, they need to be deliberated on. They need to be in the vein of deliberative democracy. Like it's every step that we take that's heavy handed on the right is just fucking the other side, basically.

And if it was the same, if Harris won, and she was like, well, I'm gonna do a full, something that doesn't include the right, every time we do that, we have to work on the progress and not do that. We have to undo it. It's like,

The more divisive and, I don't know what you'd call it, fighting, the more aggressive we are towards each other, fighting this party or that, it will have to be undone in generations, like later on down the line.

We need, we need a stronger Fed. We need the people to support the Fed, but then we also need the Fed to support the people. It's a, it's a beautiful relationship. And I feel like in Theodore Roosevelt's time, I feel like it was, it was really, he showed the extent of this US day, the,

developing of these sort of things. The people, the people, the people. And I just, I hate to see a reality where, I don't know, these riots occur and people get hurt or killed or, I don't know, it just, it's like, it feels senseless.

And I'm not about peace either. I'm not like, you know, hey, peace, you know, peace and love and fucking understanding. But it's like, we have to deliberate on these things. We have to find the middle ground and make the Fed the middle ground. We have to. If we don't, then we're just

foolishly handing the baton from the here's the heavy-handed right to heavy-handed left here you go every four years every eight years we're all just undoing each other's work doesn't make sense to undo each other's work like that
