of the country somehow, I guess. So it's probably the most bankrupt, ridiculous, stupid opinion you'll ever see in your life. Because if you don't have a standard for what abhorrent behavior looks like, you can't really measure to it. You can't really manage to it. So this is a part of a larger thing. So then the other trolls are the laundry list trolls. And a whole bunch of them came down at th…

It's like, well, I hate this group of people, so what's that mean about my political opinions? So that's how I see the world. And the trolls identify the neo-Nazis and the white supremacists all in the same category. I don't make any distinction, and I think that's helpful. All right, let…
