Good for you. There are several things to be afraid about should Trump be re-elected. His intent to deport undocumented immigrants would impact millions of biracial families for example and when is it a good thing to destroy families? When there is blame that some family members illegally crossed a border as a child (that used to be Mexico?) over 30 years ago? We need to rethink our racism. Many of the vegetables you see in every grocery store in your town were harvested by a population of undocumented workers who keep our system alive paying taxes without ever receiving the benefits citizens have. That doesn’t make them less of people. They are harder working than most Americans. They work the most dangerous jobs and settle for mistreatment and abuse because of this system. But I bet you believe that Americans want to work in poultry slaughterhouses for 12 hour shifts? Real work is something to take pride in and every undocumented person I met helped get food on your table that you shared with your family. That is something to be grateful for. They are humans who deserve a solution.

Advising a person to vote a particular way across the board when giving advise seems lacking good advice for a fellow human. Think logically about all aspects that specifically matter to your person and make a educated decision. Example: By the numbers accounting for all my expenses annually and any new or old taxes, regulations, mandates, i paid into at all places and businesses (big & small & everything in between) as well as expenses that were passed onto the consumer from businesses. I made out better under (R). All numbers were adjusted for inflation as well to have a neutral starting point. Registered (I)

The government of Bangladesh fell this August to a nationwide mass uprising because the ruling party for 15 years enacted Russian-style autocracy that Putin and Donald Trump champion - one party in charge... one party rule... one party without any consequences to their actions... Well, 170 million people live in Bangladesh, a country smaller than the state of Minnesota w/ HALF the US population... The ruling party p+++ed off enough people w/ their policies that resulted in violent and fatal subjugation of the protesters to those policies ... As a result, anger turned to fury... MORE people took to the streets and overwhelmed security forces until the PM fled the country. They are now calling for a new system of government and a clean house & judiciary. This was the consequence of atrocious government mismanagement. This is a fate that the USA must avoid. Reject Project 2025. Reject the maga republican party. Reject Donald Trump. American democracy must prevail. The government must serve the PEOPLE... Not just the wealthy and the corporations. Their financial benefits only reward their factions and DO NOT "trickle down" to working & middle class Americans (That was a republican myth that has been disproven repeatedly) ...
