then we just, you know, i remember, again, thinking, oh, this jesse jackson stuff in 1988, if we're talking, oh, that's ridiculous. that can't happen. that will never happen. as long as democrats keep saying, well, you know, we can't really present a distinct vision rather than an incrementaling softer slighter version of our hellaciously rough and unfair version of green market capitalism, they're never going to get there. so whatever lies and bigotries the right pulls up to to get, you know, two-thirds of white working class men to vote for their candidate, they're going to be able to as long as there's not a -- a different vision of how to go. the vision that we talked about earlier in the week, donald trump was selling to them, just didn't make good on it. didn't enact on it. >> katy kay is with us and has a question. >> i wonder how much you think that what's happened during covid might change the dynamic? you know, we've seen in yurp that we had the german government covering 75% of salaries, they committed to do this until next august at least. denmark has done the same kind of thing
