If you’re a wage earner, your life is the same no matter who we elect. In 2/3 of the US it’s still legal to pay someone $7 for an hour of work, and that will barely purchase a cup of coffee. No matter where you live in the US, health care and education are cost-prohibitive, and your rent and groceries have doubled or tripled within the last few years.
The problem with this election is that yes, while Trump is a fascist, it’s not going to matter because too many are in extreme poverty while Biden’s holding the reins. It really sucks that Democratic voters didn’t have the moral conviction to vote for Williamson instead.
Worrying about normal economic issues almost seems quaint and old fashioned compared with the batshit insane crap that Trump has dragged into our political discourse.
In what way, exactly?

What about if you live in Florida or Texas where bring openly transgender counts as a sex offense and sex offenders get the death penalty?
Those are actual Republican proposals with a good chance of passing.
Sure, life might be the same for you. But you’re not just voting for your president, are you?
