Honestly growing up as a white dude in upper class suburban America, politics were genuinely an optional thing to engage in. As I’ve grown older I’ve realized that they aren’t and that for some people there are few things with more impact on their lives than politics. You’d think that farmers would realize how much they are affected by politics when they rely on subsidies, but somehow they are in the same group as I was growing up. Where they think politics are an optional part of life that you don’t have to engage in because they don’t affect you. I’m glad I’ve grown and matured and realized not only that politics affect me, but also to care about other people who politics certainly impact. The fact that these people only care now that they’ve been screwed is such an immature mindset. Like it’s where I was at when I was 18 years old. These are fully grown people who genuinely don’t give a shit that they vote for something that negatively impacts so so many people, just because it doesn’t negatively affect them. I hope this is a wake up call for working class people that the republicans will not look out for them. I’m not in love with Democrats but man is it a better option than what we have now.
