And what about family members?
I wouldnât say âterminate the friendshipâ, as in cut them completely out of my life, but distance my self from them, absolutely. And I have had to. Sometimes I feel bad about removing people from my life because of âpoliticsâ, but then I remember that it isnât just about âpoliticsâ; people who continue to support Trump to this day signal things like a lower moral standard, an unwillingness to assess things objectively, a willingness to abide and support bully behavior, mob mentality, etc, and these are values that I donât share, so I donât want people who have them in my sphere. Thatâs ok, because I feel the same way about people who embrace those things when they arenât Trump-related. They are just people I donât want to associate with and choose to distance myself from. Having said that, I almost never cut people out completely. People who are family, or who were once friends, will always have a place in my heart, and I will continue to have sympathy and empathy for them to a certain extent. If possible, I will help when it is needed, and will experience joy and sorrow for whatever happens in their lives.
I'm not quite sure I understand, but lonely is the last thing I am. I'm surrounded by good, kind, caring, and loving people. Not much more I could ask for.
No they didnât. Pretty much the only thing that Trump achieved in office before the pandemic hit was cutting taxes for the rich.
A persons politics, especially today, are a reflection of their values, and I absolutely break off relationships with people who have shitty values that arenât compatible with my own.
Racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, fascism, authoritarianism, etc are all dealt with breakers for me. A vote for Trump is a voice of support for everything I mentioned above.

The effects of a new President usually aren't felt for about ~2years. What you felt during the start of Trump's presidency was most likely a result of what Obama handed him. Then he cut taxes for the rich while the bull market continued, and then pandemic hit. Trump's policies during 2020 contributed greatly to what we've been feeling the last few years (although to be fair, inflation is a global phenomenon), meanwhile just about 3 years into Biden's presidency, things are finally starting to get better.
I'm not in love with Biden or anything, but I really struggle to see how Trump actually improved the lives of anyone besides him and his buddies.
