  • So many want “change” … Trump is “change”, right from his personal nature and demeanour.

    Back in 2016 when Trump as sill “new” I fell very squarely into this. I was still too young to vote and had just started learning about politics. Looking at both major parties all I saw was people who didn’t care about normal people, politicians that seemed too involved in the political game to actually get anything done. I remember seeing Trump as a kinda of wild card that would hopefully stir things up enough to hopefully get something done. That someone removed from the traditional nepotism in politics could make real changes.

    Unfortunately that’s not what happened, and not really how any of this works. It seems like his presidency just made new problems, and all the old ones still persist.

    There’s a mall near me that converted into basically a strip mall a few years ago. The only store that’s still open and that has an indoor entrance is the movie theater and it feels like walking through a space that shouldn’t exist every time I try and get to it
