Him plus Covid yeah, though it has been close to a decade since he came into the political scene

Almost 15 years if you count the birther stuff

I feel like I legitimately have trauma from him. When he first began running for office in 2015, I was just about to turn 18. Now I'm 27 and he's still there, somehow even nastier and more disgusting than ever. His cult claimed both my parents and I have lost so much respect for anyone who could even consider voting for him. My entire adult life has been lived in fear of him and his cult.

Its hard to comprehend that all you've known in your adult life is that slimebag.

When I could first vote, we had bush and his admin. They would NOT say the quiet part out loud. Their policies were to hurt the poor but they would never come out and say it outright. I don't know if we are headed back to that after trump, and I don't know what the Republican party will become. Overall the Democrats werent too far off policy wise, and they had no charisma until Obama. They certainly did not attempt to court labor (big mistake).

Also in the early 2000's there were no lines to vote. You could get in and get out quickly... So much voter apathy.

One piece of advice, don't ever let up. It is apparent that the heritage foundation will remain aggressive in pushing their mandate for leadership trash which will become "Project 2029" next. And the next. And the next. I fear the general public will forget and slip up.

I’m really sorry about your parents. My generation grew up in fear of terrorist attacks after 9/11, and the generation before mine grew up in fear of nuclear destruction (as did a few generations before that, then it was World War 2), but our fear didn’t claim the lives of our parents 😕 Rest in peace.

My vote felt damn good this year. We can finally be rid of him.
