[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to love living here. Now, I feel overwhelmed and sad most days, like
Trump is destroying everything on a macro level — and making us all in DC less safe (and afraid) on a micro level. [/quote]

Other than in your mind, how has Trump affected you?  Honestly.

I hate trump, but he has no tangible impact on my life.[/quote]

Do you live around here, or have friends or neighbors? It’s hard to believe you, if you do.
I guess if things are fine for you, great. But don’t you care about what others are going through?

I don’t know about you, but even though things somewhat ok for me (in spite of 3 hours daily commute since so-called RTO that has been pretty rough on my family) and I have a job and a lot of financial security, and I can afford to buy Christmas presents and send my kid to college, I feel less happy knowing I have neighbors who have lost their jobs, people losing their homes, had their livelihoods destroyed through no fault of their own, or who fear deportation even if they have literally done nothing wrong and followed the law to a T.

This area definitely has a different feel now. It is sad and subdued. If you aren’t noticing any changes, lucky you I guess.

If they were following the law, they would have came to the United States legally. [/quote]

The people I am talking about DID come to the United States legally, and should be able to feel safe, but they don’t feel safe because they are seeing evidence that ICE could detain and deport them too. Even if they are ultimately found to be here legally, detention is not great. How would you like it if you got picked up and detained for a few days on your way to work?[/quote]

Stop debating trolls. They are laughing at you. [/quote]
