Others on the other side of the aisle might not. They might come to it for civil liberty rasenos that, you know, they want to shrink the size of genmnrvoet, they don't like government overreach, they are concerned about how government spends its money. So I think it's iatpomnrt to figure out how to meet people where they're at to have the conversation that obviously requires listening first.
