[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was meaningfully less happy since 2020, and I am pretty sure I would not be happier had Kamala won and Biden 2.0 disaster continued.  For people entirely disenchanted with performative politics while masses are distracted from real problems it has been a sh*t show regardless who is a power for a long while now. Trump = cartoon villain is certainly the dominating topic here and a stupid debate.

Objectively, there are many people in this area meaningfully less happy because of losing their Fed jobs, or fearing being deported, which makes sense.  These two categories have absolutely valid reasons to be a lot less happy than others.  For everyone else chugging along, what other categories of people would have legitimate hardships under this administration they didn't have already during Covid disaster and Biden's runaway train?[/quote]

I have one friend with a totally traumatized 4 year old because ICE came into her daycare and aggressively arrested her teacher on school property.  I have a non-binary child and I'm afraid for their safety as more people feel emboldened to say or do unkind or unsafe things towards them.  I'm a teacher and at my school, we now have to do extra morning and after school duty to keep an eye out for ICE and try to keep them away from the car line.  I feel incredibly unsafe doing this, but I'll do it to protect the most vulnerable.  My family has pretty much given up eating out and ordering coffee because prices are so crazy.  We always shop at Aldi first and then hit a traditional grocery store for the rest.  My refugee friends have lost their SNAP benefits and are now only eating 2x a day instead of 3.  Even the kids.  (Yes, my family helps as we are able) I keep waiting for the entire market to collapse and lose much of my retirement.  And just having to read or hear the insane things trump and his trumpettes say leaves me and everyone I know feeling gross.  I could go on.[/quote]
