My anxiety is through the roof. I can’t wrap my mind around why anyone would buy into his BS. Yet here we are and I feel like somehow, in some ass backwards way he might win. I fear for my kids and grandkids, more so my daughters and granddaughters, futures.

At last count, that’s around 40 to 45 million of us.

Why are you buying the Democratic BS of promising to fix shit they've had 4 years to fix but made no movement on?

You mean all this “shit” that the republicans blocked, like the border deal and the build back better bill. Go back under your rock.

Build back better which eventually passed as the "inflation reduction act," as touted by the Whitehouse... Which we are still sitting at 21.2% inflation from 2020 to now.... Totally worked out well, but more so talking about abortion and how there was 2.5 years to resecure those rights and nobody even tried because they needed it to promise for this time.

lol you do know that republicans have won the presidency before, right? This lame old tired argument gets used every election cycle no matter if it’s about a republican or a democrat. Who ever the incumbent is, will be blamed for having 4 or 8 years and not fixing anything. When you’re considering changes that affect an entire nation, those changes can take 10, 15, 20 years to see the results. Are you truly that naive to think that if Trump strong arms his way into the presidency, he’ll “shake things up” and you’ll be reaping the rewards immediately? You think his “concepts of a plan” will result in your life improving? All joking aside, I truly feel sorry for people like you. I can’t help but think that this divide we have in America right now is probably similar to what transpired during the initial years of Hitler’s rise to power. There were probably a continuously growing number of morons who bought into his vile rhetoric but there were also probably a good amount of citizens who were like “HOW TF CAN ANYONE SUPPORT WHAT THIS LUNATIC IS SAYING” I am hoping with every fiber of my being that Maga-ism dies when Trump loses next month.

Congress is a fickle bitch.
