“With way less people speaking out about it. I mean, so I think it's the job of folks that know better to not just swat down that energy that people want to use to work against Trump, but to show where the actual problem is and gather that it's an opportunity to gather that energy into something that's more effective than just getting Trump out because right now you get Trump out and what's going to happen. I mean, first of all, the Democratic Party is having no qualms with moving to the right of where it was. Know all it has to be is a few interests to the left of Trump and people will be like, and even the arguments against Trump going around this really nationalist line like we only want U.S. billionaires controlling our political process, not Russian billionaires. What's going on with that?”

“I think that people are feeling bolder in what they will say, what they will talk about with people. I think that folks are looking at Problems more critically, and thinking that something needs to be done. I think that there are two things, though, that one, There has to be a movement that is able to that people are able to be involved with at their place of work because that's where we spend most of our day. And there has to be organizing around using where people's power is, using that point of power that folks have, which is their labor. So that means there needs to be a movement that will utilize the withholding of labor, not only to change Wage labor values, but to also affect political change. There's a danger of putting all of these problems on the Trump administration. I've seen it happen before.”
