I’m in my 50s, and in my life no matter who was president it never really affected my life too much until these last four years.

The price of gas and groceries is insane, I can’t imagine how hard it must be for families with children, that’s who I really hurt for, and no matter who wins someone has to do something because in America we deserve better than these last four years. We’re finally reaching the light at the end of the tunnel.

We can go back to common-sense policies like being able to define what a “woman” is, criminals go to prison, asylum seekers stay in Mexico, and more oil production to bring down prices, or we can continue the worst four years of many peoples’ lives. I can’t wait for the new year.
