    I guarantee you are getting a warped picture of what it’s actually like to live here. I haven’t noticed a change in my daily life based on who is president for my entire life.

    Cue all the boring-ass comments like “you must be priviliged,” “you’re clearly not black,” “how nice for you that you aren’t a government employee.”

      You haven’t noticed how expensive groceries have gotten this year? Does sound a little bit privileged, imo

        idk what’s going on in the big cities but out here in bumfuckville prices have barely moved. I guess I’m privileged for living in a rural shithole

      I haven’t noticed a change in my daily life based on who is president for my entire life.

      I mean, that’s true everywhere, even long-authoritarian places. It takes time for the crap happening at the top to roll down.

      Obviously, it eventually does.
