    Realistically, Trump hasn’t done much that negatively impacts my life. Due to a reduction of overtime tax and his executive order on marijuana, my life has marginally improved.

    The only thing the Democrats have done to improve my life in the last decade was to give me a bunch of money during the pandemic, but it’s hard to say if that helped me in the long run. The resulting inflation was a pretty big catch.

      lol, I guess you don’t buy anything that that’s imported and carried on a vehicle that runs on oil products.

      I’ll admit this is a useful observation in terms of pure facts.

      Like, I read up on the news; so I’m constantly horrified and want immediate change. But being a white male with a job, in terms of personally observed situation, I’m hardly affected (and hardly received Democratic benefit either, in part because I don’t need it) - it’s my societal awareness that makes me want to take action, and that’s not often guaranteed of so many people.
