    No. No I am not.

    My food is more expensive. The house I want to buy is further out of reach. My medical care is more expensive and more restricted.

    The southern border crisis still rages on.

    The difference is my country is now complicit if not instrumental in a genocide and is in more military conflicts globally.

      Every single one of those things was catalyzed because of something Trump did.

      Handling of COVID. Flooring of interest rates. Tax breaks for the middle class that expired right as terms rolled over and Congress was controlled by morons who wouldn’t renew them (rich still get theirs). Nerfed the ACA’s tax penalty instead of raising subsidies. Moving the fucking embassy to Jerusalem.

      Biden sure ain’t great but he can be swayed by public opinion to some degree. Trump will fucking end us if he comes back.

            I agree, which is why I am extremely terrified of the current Right wing Democrat president.

          Hilariously, nearly everyone ready to defend you just downvoted you here. That says something. I’m not sure what, but something.

            That its a stupid poorly thought out inflammatory response.

            I am just too stripped out on the same cordial “lesser evil” conversation that is going nowhere to care.

            I am pissing people off. Good.

            Trump will be incredibly bad. What is worse is losing a liberal political presence in this country entirely. And we are about there.

      Just because Trump risks being the worst thing to happen to democracy in the history of humanity, we cannot excuse genocide.

      The funding of the genocide and blocking of UN attempts to address it are real. Trump’s demolition of democracy is, as of now, merely a risk.
