“your 20s are for—“ enough my 20s are for rediscovering all of my interests from 6th grade and realizing that actually 12 year old me was kinda onto something
just saw someone my age who is much further ahead in life than me and even though i know everyone moves through life at a different pace and we all have different circumstances i still feel very much inadequate and like i am running out of time
Wow. A bishop just called out Trump and Vance to their faces at church.
“The vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. May I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those whose children fear their parents will be taken away.”
Jake I honestly would expect this from you but I still feel the need to detail why not supporting Trump means I love america, not the opposite.
1) His economic policy will be detrimental to low and middle class Americans. Tariffs are inflationary and regressively impact those making less money the most. This will generate more income inequality; which at today’s levels is just simply unsustainable.
2) Trump standing against federal legislation to protect all women and girls right to choose (even in cases of rape) has resulted in 60 rape victims being denied access to abortion every 24 hours in 10 of our states.
3) He does not have housing affordability policy. I understand that you are a wealthy man however one of the biggest struggles for the average american is the price of housing. If anything we have reason to believe he will making housing more expensive (because of his tariffs).
4) Trump has an incredibly morally perverted character. He raped a woman, committed 34 felonies, called for a total shut down of all new muslims entering into America, sexualized a 10 year old girl, and boasted to Howard Stern about walking into the changing rooms of half naked teenagers.
There’s plenty of other reasons not to support Trump however I believe the fee points I provided will open your mind to considering that maybe I do love america, and ultimately that’s the reason why I do not support Trump.
No matter what happens, it saddens me deeply that rape, felonies, trying to overthrow our democracy, misogyny, racism and transphobia are somehow not deal breaks for 10’s of millions of Americans.
