Americans of Lemmy, what is your approach to next year's election? (lemm.ee)

2020 was... truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn't get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision for America.

My point is that looking back on it, in the end the only real difference I made was at the ballet box. This year I'm going for the Head-in-the-Sand approach. I'm done with the political memes. Done with the Twitter screenshots. It just riles me up and this year I'm gonna do my best to fight that.

I'd like to see Trump reelected. If not him then Vivek ramaswamy

The first time he was elected I could probably forgive but knowing what that man did, you do not have an excuse now.

I have no regrets or...excuses? I think he was a great president. But I don't think the gop will even let him run at this point. I'd really like to see Vivek get the nomination.

You voted for a criminal and traitor to the US. Great presidents dont have mobs attack the capitol trying to instill them as a dictator.

That's your opinion.

I'm not here to fight. Have a great day

Honestly, I'm just glad you can feel comfortable enough on Lemmy to post something like that. Fuck you, and let's be friends.

Thanks friend. I just don't care what people think anymore.

OP asked and I answered with my opinion. I'm tired of fighting anybody with a different opinion.
