    I’m really struggling to comprehend some of these.

    “Life sure is tough nowadays. I feel like the American dream is dead and I’m struggling to get by. If only the government could help.”

    “Don’t worry! I hear the government just [removed gun restrictions / made prison sentences longer / gave everyone an ID / outlawed abortion / outlawed puberty blockers / made showing gay things on tv illegal]!”

    “Finally! My life is sure to improve for the better!”

      You’re aware that not everyone shares your point of view, and political opinions about what should be done, right? Because it just seems stupid to cry about a political party you don’t support anyway representing what people who disagree with you want the government to be doing.

        “What policy do you think would improve people’s lives?”

        “Make the national anthem death metal”

        “Uhh alright that’s a weird one. I’m really not seeing how that would improve people’s lives”

        “Look man, not everyone shares your opinions”

        Yeah I get that, but that really doesn’t help me understand! I do understand some of the responses. Immigration policy changes? Sure. Not everyone’s going to agree on it, but I can see how it can effect the lives of the average person.

        How is banning puberty blockers going to improve the life of the average person? No judgement, I really honestly truly don’t understand. Everyone has more guns? What improves? I don’t get it!

      Theres more than just the economy, but securing the border, deporting illegals, and raising tariffs will make things better for American workers. Hard to compete with cheap 3rd world countries.

      Hell you could go further and slow down the worker visa programs, although I’m not sure how many agree with me on that.
