[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh. Can WH and faux news endlessly spit out enough fawning nonsense today about “historic 100 days”? . No one fking cares. The stock market has shed 12 trillion. Prices are about to sky rocket because shelves are empty. What the actual fk. How much validation does one person need? Oh yeah, I forgot they’re a narcissist and any damage to the ego about bad press is too much to handle.[/quote]

If you’re like me — 23, working-class and born into a country already‬ on fire — President Donald Trump’s first 100 days feel less like chaos and more like clarity.‬

For the first time in years, there’s motion. Bureaucracies that seemed untouchable are getting‬ streamlined. Energy policy is shifting. Agencies that operated without accountability are being‬ challenged. The tone in Washington is sharp, confrontational and‬ direct.

The generational split here is obvious. Older Americans, especially those with pensions and‬ property, are panicked by any shake-up. They’ve spent decades benefiting from inflated assets‬ and cheap debt. For them, even a modest dip in the markets feels like a threat to their way of life.‬

But for my generation, disruption is normal. We graduated‬ into an economy that felt rigged, got smacked by a pandemic, drowned in inflation and watched every institution, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to the Ivy League, burn through credibility like kindling. We’ve been priced out of homes, overregulated at entry-level jobs and gaslighted into‬ thinking we’re lazy for questioning it all.‬  ‭

This is what makes Trump’s second term feel different. It’s not just about remaking policy; it’s‬ about recalibrating reality. Now, we’re watching someone bulldoze the mess and start‬ re-laying the foundation.‬‭ Yes, people are screaming. They’re calling it dangerous, reckless, authoritarian. But if you‬ grew up watching your generation get crushed by the consequences of bipartisan cowardice, this‬ doesn’t feel like tyranny. It feels like someone finally picking up the shovel.‬

I get why you think that way. You were 13 or 14 when Trump showed up. You have no concept of a government run properly. Even under Biden, Trump was running a shadow Presidency and all the Republicans were backing him. Gone were the days when the Republican congressmen told Nixon he needed to resign.

I was a little naive when I was 23 and I'm met some wealthy people since then.

What you are missing is that he is picking up the shovel to smack you on the head with. This country will not recover from his destruction until you are old. Maybe your kids if you have any will have a chance at it.

All his smoke and mirrors are robbing you under your nose. [/quote]
