8. The only things I see Americans respond to

Are fear, anger and a sense of entitlement also a real heavy dose of narcissism.
Trans rights, immigrants, abortions and hating on anyone that does not fit their narrow definition of a real American. These things don’t affect them but boy do they run to the voting booth and hurt this country. I am also seeing democrats saying if it doesn’t affect white males why should we care. I don’t have answers because I am tired from trying to stop the orange shit head from gerrymandering the mid terms. But that doesn’t move the popularity meter so I guess it doesn’t count.
