What is your opinion on the state of the U.S.? How do you feel about the direction the country is heading? Maybe what do you think are the biggest challenges facing the U.S. government right now?
I know I know cookie cutter questions but I need to be on neutral ground while listening.

this whole rant is going to sound very doomer and dramatic but that shows how critical this has become:
the US is slowly becoming an authoritarian state that no one seems to give a shit about. Trump and the republican party have evaded any form of punishment or major backlash for completely disregarding basic constitutional rights that have been upheld sine they're inception. people are being taken out of their homes and from their families under the broad assumption that they are "illegal" or "dangerous" but completely untrained and unprofessional lunatics in tactical gear and face masks, parading as ICE. Trump and his cabinet seem to think that the system and the people a part of it are a complete fucking joke, stepping all over it without a care in the world. scandal after scandal with the people who support and are actively in the republican party his brushed off as soon as it happens. they do whatever the fuck the want, no matter how stupid and insane it is. here's a quick list of what the party had done in only its first DAY, mainly trump:
-illegally using bitcoin and other means to directly fund trumps presidential campaign
-attempting to remove citizenship by birthright
-giving out pardons to trump supporters convicted of crimes such as drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and the sexual eploitation of a minor
-pulling out of WHO (World Health Organization), breaking international law
-firing thousands of federal employees without clear reason through a phony government department run buy a private citizen, also which being the richest person on the planet
-instating unlawful bans on USAID payments, travel to and from the country, and border control
and many, many, many more
the entirety of all of the crimes that trump and his party have committed over the course of this year could rival the size of the fucking Bible. and congress or the Supreme Court dont seem to give two shits about it. in fact, they have seemingly been bending to his will. I cannot stress this enough that our freedom and the US democracy itself are actively being challenged and attacked. if something doesn't happen in the next year or two, we could lose what this country has been for nearly 250 years.
the only thing we can really do is vote while we still can, and tell this administration that they cant fucking do this. as much as this country has falls, I will not sit idly by as it is destroyed and turned into a authoritarian nightmare.
sorry for the rant y'all, just felt the need to get these thoughts out there. I wish the people who need to see this would, but sadly thats not the case. all i can do now is hope that things get better i guess
oh, didn't think this comment was going to get approved. Anyway yeah, argument is the same on either post
Our democracy is flawed and will not stand unless the old corrupt politicians die off, PACs get banned, and the two-party system is finally challenged. But until then, true change might happen well into our lifetimes or never happen at all, unless something big happens which I personally find unlikely.
To be honest, the biggest political change you can do right now is arming yourself, in just 2 weeks working minimum wage you could buy yourself a cheap AR platform, 3 mags and 200 rounds of ammunition, now that's what I call political action, good to have in case shit gets real real bad.

the rest of yall tho all yall are dead as hell
Man says "Grab her by the pussy"; becomes president
My opinion is that politics fucking suck. All it does is give reason for ppl to hate each other. All we need is a president with a good HEAD on their shoulders and hopefully they don’t BLOW this country into a billion pieces bc that would SUCK. Also Trump gave Bill Clinton head
This guys onto something. Let's keep Dave safe, make sure the government doesn't interfere with his brilliance.
The government is trying to make us go against each other
Trump sucked Bill Clinton's dick btw
