Yeah, as much as I'd like to think that people in general don't like Trump, I am constantly reminded that there are plenty of Trump supporters out where I live. Lotta people who like guns will vote R even if they don't really care for Trump. I wonder if we'll see some anti-abortion legislation come up soon or if they're going to pick a different hot topic to drum up support for instead.

I don't know what to make of it. I grew up in a really conservative family, so I understand more or less how they think, but it still boggles my mind that I've grown out of that mindset and they haven't moved an inch and I don't think they ever will. What can you do with that? How do you get people to care enough to learn about stuff outside their bubble?

Honestly I've been trying not to think about it too much. I subscribed to https://www.impeachment.fyi/ and that's all the reading I do. I'll worry about the election when the Dems know more or less what candidate they're actually going to run.
