    That cant be underestimated. He has ruined our mental health and has empowered the racists. I always have to remind myself that not all white people are bad

    what would u have wanted him to do?

    For me,

    Make everyone get tested. Once a month is good enough

    Immediately shut down the country similar to Italy and New Zealand earlier this year.

    Don't open anything until the numbers actually start going back down, not UP

    Since stores would still need to be open, social distancing and very small capacity, one way operation (like they attempted earlier this year)

    Find a way to provide all students with computers and the essentials so school could resume without any kids missing out.

    This is from the top of my head. We could have been like New Zealand and conquered this panoramic months ago, or at least started a decline then. But here we are.

    What unity did we have under obama? Cops were still killing blacks. Protests were still causing mass division. Mass shootings were still a problem

    Yeah, s***'s sucked forever, There has always been corruption. But you're trying to boil a very complex issue down to its products when it's a larger problem of culture.

    The way our politicians and the methods by which they stir up support have divided this country, you can't even talk to anybody anymore. Once it becomes obvious that either side has an agenda, it's over. Twitter and Reddit is swarming with bots who won't engage with discussion when you reach out to them and liberals are straight up traumatized. Everyone just stays in their bubble.

    When I was growing up during the Clinton and Bush administrations, I remember reading lots of discussion between democrats and republicans about topics they cared about. Pages and pages of back and forth and it was that way in person too. Families would argue at the dinner table, but at least they talked. Presidents had bad intentions then too, but they weren't actively provoking hate groups in speeches and encouraging violence with racist dog whistles the way they are now.

    It's absolutely shameful being American thanks to Trump. Our federal government took all kinds of imperialist and racist actions before, but there's no us vs. them anymore because 30% of the country has sold out to a cult. It's hard to tell who to trust anymore because at any moment they might whip out a slogan or talking point that comes straight from the mouth of a hateful piece of s*** racist.

    It's gonna take generations to recover culturally from the last 4 years and the earth's climate probably never will. So yeah, s*** changed.

    exactly lol thats one of the few things i think he should've done.

    Made it easier to point out the idiots around me

  • Oct 28, 2020

    My life has gotten better but that’s because of things I’ve done, not him

    He has not made the average person’s life better though; so that’s why I voted against my own self interests and voted for Biden

  • Oct 28, 2020

    President never changed my life directly. But a lot of my homies got held up when he did the travel ban

  • Oct 28, 2020

    Also, most people who are improving their lives are doing it on their own, not on Trump lmao.
