Welcome to another T-Rex talk, and this one we're going to be talking about some political stuff because mostly we've been very busy doing some political stuff recently, which you can learn more about in the next political newsletter.

And also one of the YouTube videos that is coming out very soon is going to be some of our political activism that we're doing here in the state of Tennessee, particularly around Second Amendment stuff.

So you probably know that T.R.X. Arms is an advocate of getting involved in local politics.

there's way too many laws in this country, in every state, and there are bad laws, and there

are political solutions to this problem of there being bad laws. But what about this argument that voting doesn't change

anything? The evidence certainly seems to support this idea that voting doesn't change anything.

And I would say it depends on the voting. If all you do is wait until election day,

go in and then pick Team Elephant or Team Donkey. Yeah, that vote isn't going to change

anything. As long as we're sending people like Dan Crenshaw to the legislature, we're not going to
