When Trump was president we couldn't leave our houses because of COVID. We had riots in some cities. He was separating children from their parents at the border.
For me specifically things were going so bad at my company that we had daily meetings just to talk about how shitty things were in the world. They told us to do as much work as we could but it's understandable if you can't concentrate.i have never experienced that before In my life. That's what I don't want ever again.
Maybe things were fine for you but that shit sucked for me.
I'll be honest, unless you were in a special circumstance, that sounds like a you problem not a Trump problem. I didn't and wouldn't vote for him, but for most people he did not affect their day to day that much. 2020 was the peak of actual influence on daily life, but I don't think that had as much to do with Trump as people imply, either. The whole world got Covid. The US had a bit more deaths per capita than the rest of the developed world (less than UK) but it also has a less healthy population in general.
I think we all sort of trained each other to fixate on the president and be anxious if they're not on our team.
