We have a GOVERNMENT that couldn't care less about the middle class.

We have a President Elect, TSF, well I don't need to type all of his bullshit.

We also have Project 2025.

I'm supposed to worry about grievance politics. I applaud the idealism, but when you have someone from the other side on CNN, after the election, saying "Democracy is a luxury when you can't pay the bills".

I think the idealism can wait a few cycles.
