Liberals have come to want censorship and conservatives have become the irl version of Internet trolls. It's fucked. People don't even know what they're argueing anymore, they just want their side to win.

I will definitely agree that the Left has issues, but the perception of being "pro-censorship" is something I don't really think holds, for the majority anyway. The only thing that Democrats in general don't want in circulation are blatant untruths and something that could directly harm other individuals (i.e. an extremist group call to action)

Trump wasn't my first pick for president but i feel much better having him in office for a year than i would have ever had with Hillary in for a day.

Nobody wants that. But the will to make it into law is a particularly left thing.

Since his presidency, I've learned which news sources are dishonest and are simply just out to get him. I also enjoy laughing at the hypocrisy of these news stations. For instance...
"Oprah would make an exceptional president" They also added opinion to the end of it a few hours after the release of this article. They bash Trump for being a T.V star, yet Oprah would make a FANTASTIC president. LOL.

I've also learned to hate modern feminists a lot more!

My daily life has been somewhat unaffected thus far, but I don't feel like things for America have been much better since Trump and his administration came along.

With the fight for net neutrality, expanded NSA internet surveillance, tax bills, immigration policies, and all the other major fiascoes that's been happening/happened since last year, I personally feel like things haven't been too great. Also, since my views mostly align with the Democratic side, I personally don't really agree with much of Trump's views, which further discomforts me with the current political state.

I'm happy that I've turned 18 since then and can now vote in upcoming elections, because one thing that did happen was that I'm somewhat more politically aware, and want to engage more into politics to voice my opinions

As long as people will take the elections for a match of football and make it a question of partisanship rather than actually thinking about what's best, I doubt much will change, be it Liberals or Republicans.
As a proof, the next big thing people talk about seems to be yet another celebrity.

Also, this country and its people needs to stop FEARING the left. I'm talking about the actual left, which the U.S. don't have. They have the right and extreme right only.
Socialism is not an evil word, a lot of good things can come out of it. Yes some bad things too, but then we're back to the initial problem: Partisanship. Or being for X or against X for the sake of it.
Recently we had the example here on gbatemp. People defending the net neutrality repel "because regulation is bad", but without ever giving an argument as to why it's bad.
(And yeah it definitely needs free school to elevate the general level of education, or at least teach people what an argument even is... sometimes just by reading youtube comments I get scared, it's a match of football I'll tell ya...)

I'm glad that my (former) country elected someone in the middle, who listens to both sides of the spectrum.

That's my point. With political influence you've learned to hate. Also, 6 corporations own 90% of all media in the us. None of them are completely without opinion or influence. If you want objective news on what's happening in our country, sadly you need to turn to news outlets in other countries. I'm almost certain you won't like what they say though.

OPRAH FOR PRESIDENT

Pfft, we all know Dwayne "the rock" Johnson is going to win 2020.

Honestly I could get behind him

 

[Noctosphere]

Honestly I could get behind him

idk why
but for every comment you make, I read it, then I see the facepalm emoji in your sig and take what you said as sarcasm

 

[rileysrjay]

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he ran after those rumors a while back (even though they turned out to be false).

 

[Costello]

Pfft, we all know Dwayne "the rock" Johnson is going to win 2020.

what party is he in?

option 1: he stands for the party I support. HE WOULD MAKE AN AMAZING PRESIDENT
option 2: he stands for the party I dont support. HE WOULD MAKE AN AWFUL PRESIDENT

[ThisIsDaAccount]

It's been nearly a year since Trump took office.
What has changed for you this year? Are you better off than a year ago?
Or worse? Either way, I'd be curious to hear it.

Please stay civil and dont break the rules, thanks.

I'm Hispanic, and people have gotten ruder to me since he started his campaign cuz of that, but it's not too bad and I suppose it would've happened even if he'd lost.

I don't like him as a president cuz he makes our country look bad and his policies don't make much sense. But those are just my political opinions.

This also happened to be the year the switch came out, so I guess that improved my life.
