I apologize. You’re right, I assumed. Mostly because that’s who I interact with all day on here. I’m glad to have a fellow old-timer in the house!!
I think where our views mismatch is I just don’t think anything has changed much, regardless of who is in office. I mean, the democrats never undo what the republicans do. And republicans rarely do what they say they are gonna do.
So it’s not so much that things haven’t changed for the worse, it’s that no president of either party has worked very hard to reverse bad things.
And since you’ve been around, you’ll also know that everyone thought Trump was gonna destroy us all and get rid of gay people last time he was in office. And that he was a Nazi that was gonna turn us into some White Power nation.
Didn’t happen then. Won’t happen now.
Next election, we’ll vote in a Democrat who will be on the campaign trail promising to undo all the republican shenanigans. And they won’t do it.
Same as it ever was.

I doubt that very much. I think the Democrat will finally understand that they need to one-up the GOP to win the votes of a population of morons and that’s what they’ll do: they’ll join the race to the bottom.
They’ve already started: just look at how many dems flip-flopped on DEI and abortion, and how they *need to work on the issues the Americans care about" since Trump was elected. The snivelling little shits are turning hard right as we speak. It’s pathetic.
