The other thing I wanted to talk about was more about politics and kind of directed at you folks who think that your vote doesn't matter and that you didn't get out and vote or make the time to vote. I woke up this morning and did a search for Lauren Bowbert, who is out in Colorado. And for those of you who don't know who she is, she is a US representative out in Colorado, and she's just a whack job

And I love the fact that I still have that option and capability in the United States to do just that. So as I listened to your slow, I more so was filled with gratitude at the fact that there are different districts and states that people can go in search of a life in a land that reflects their morals and their values and enables them to really live the life that they want. So thanks for your swell, because it gave me a really sort of big appreciation for the US
Just really speaks to a lack of, I think, education and understanding about government and politics and how it's supposed to work and who it's supposed to work for. I don't think that she is representative of the republican party of old, but she certainly is of this current one, or at least the ones that are on trump side, although we've seen that a lot of the other people that he personally backed have lost, dr. Oz being one of them

You. Hey, Annie L. Thanks for replying. Yeah. So, you know, you bring up something that I had actually meant to talk about, but as I was driving, it kind of went out of my head. And that is you're, right? Yeah. There are some places where, yeah, if you vote one way, you're going to be completely drowned out by the majority. And living in Texas

I'm not a Democrat, and sometimes when I hear people talk about, like, what you have said something about taking us to very dangerous places, like, I don't understand. So could you expand on that exactly, like a bill or what your fears are? I live in New Jersey, and literally where I am, there's no one that can speak eloquently on why they vote the way they do
And so I just wanted to get that out there. So you don't think that I'm just coming at it from one place. Now, Lauren, Bobbert, also, just so you know, is new to politics. She's only been around for a few years, so in terms of enacting any sort of real legislation, she hasn't really done a whole lot of that yet

There's a lot there's so many out there who have this sort of cherry picking type view of how America should be according to the Constitution. Lauren Bobert and a number of other extreme conservatives and not just politicians, but the people who have voted them in office believe that the United States should be a Christian theocracy. And so by that theocracy, she believes, and again, voters who believe the same way and other Republican politicians that it is Christianity that should tell the government which laws to create
