Summary

This quote suggests that in American politics, saying 'yes' is more powerful than saying 'no'. The idea is that by embracing and advocating for the opposing side's positions, one can effectively neutralize their arguments and leave them speechless. By doing so, it is implied that the opposing side becomes unsure and unable to react due to the unexpected support. This strategic use of 'yes' can be seen as a way to control and disarm political opponents, as they are left without counterarguments.
