    I guess I really struggle to give two shits at this point. Not to dismiss or minimize your struggles if this is going to directly affect you, I do feel some level of empathy but overall, I just don’t care anymore.

    We’re just going to have to see where the chips fall but I mean 72 million people and 15 million others that include Democrats and progressives decided that this is the course that America should take and take it America should.

    Sucks but this is what America will deserve and there’s not much you’ll be able to do about it other than hope you and others like you have a local community to fall back on.
