All my kids are late 20s to almost 40 years old. They all are millenials. The most “woke” Jr high science teacher daughter is all on board with the idea that if a kid tells her he or she wants to change genders but they are afraid to tell their parents, then the school has to help the kid

The biggest problem is that people have created a barrier with politics to unlove people. No one is allowed to just have an opinion. It has to be this emotional debate of the ages and if you’re not all in then you’re all out. All politicians lie. Bush lied to people, Obama lied to people,

I just want more compromise between the two major parties. If Dems could learn to spend less and Republicans would stop attacking marginalized people, we'd have a fairly normal government. I'm also not a fan of how easy it is to buy guns. I know plenty of far right nut jobs that make me nervous
