“So we talked a little bit before about our nervous systems and the way that this, like, authoritarians know this. They know that by exhausting us, they know by hitting us with too many things to respond to, so many lies that you can't combat them effectively, one after the other.
They know that is how you get people to just give up, throw up their hands. And I talked about the fact that, like, right now, it feels like we're sleepwalking into this autocracy because nobody feels, like, up to the task. But I believe this.
But here's the thing, guys, and I say this a lot, you cannot roll up your sleeves if you are wringing your hands.
And so despite all of us up here wetting the bed and being in our feelings, like the point of us coming was to tell you, to try to like communicate how serious it is.
And I know you know that, because otherwise you wouldn't be here. But like, don't just panic. Don't refresh 538.
Call everyone you know. Call the people who are soft Republicans. I know that you know them.
Our voters tend to be center left to center right. And if you're progressive, great, pod save dude. We actually welcome you here.
We love you. We love those guys. But like, go do something.”
