re: How much does politics/elections actually change your day to day life?

This sentiment is the battle that is hard to overcome and why the country is doomed. Not blaming the poster but people simply are not engaged and don't care.

The biggest change in day of life for me was Jimmy Carter. It was horrible. Food prices went up every day, not every week. High gas prices became no gas at all.

Let me help you with this.
Imagine you the proverbial frog in the boiling pot. As the heat is turned up, pretend each frog-second = some number of years to you.
By the time you realize the water's boiling you got naked men riding bicycles in downtown parades in front of children with their parents standing there doing nothing about it, unknown millions of unvetted illegals storming the border while flourescent-haired washbrained libtards are screaming and spitting on law enforcement trying to arrest the violent offenders, transvestite freak-azoids holding drag queen story hours in elementary schools, just to name a couple things.
So, day by day, no. Doesn't seem to affect much.
Just know this: you may not be all that interested in politics, but politics is VERY much interested in you.

I can’t think of any time elections have had a significant impact on my day-to-day life, and I am grateful for that. However, being that I’m not entirely self-absorbed (only partially) I do recognize that transitions of political power can impact other people’s lives more significantly than mine. So I do take that into consideration.
But overall, that is why I know that in general, I’ll be OK regardless of which party has control.

Yeah, I wish I were in a position to be concerned about that.

As long as “you” aren’t concerned about, who cares, right? That’s the problem with voters like you. Instead of voting for who is going to uphold the Constitution, it’s the it doesn’t affect me mentality so I don’t care

no change to me
I am glad this board changed from anti-Trump whiners to targets. I want to generate stupid responses to the results those morons backed.
You have to get tom them quick. Most will slink off or create another alter.

kids are in private catholic school, which will never teach about transgender. so that's a retarded take
work in healthcare, no political decision has ever had any effect on my career nor will it unless they just abolish hospitals, which will never happen.
i've had consistent raises. 401k has grown. savings account has grown. i just don't see any decisions made which have that much effect.

I'll be honest, I see no change. The jihadis in Minnesota doesn't effect me nor does the mayor of new york. i don't live in texas so don't care they voted some liberal either.
if eggs are $7 or $2, $20/month has no effect on me
if gas is $100/week or $60/week, $160 has no effect on me
State and local elections are the most important. I skipped the federal election this week, but I made sure I voted in the state and locals and on the amendments.
Living in Florida, it's important to keep it and it's provided much protection from the ignorance I see elsewhere in the country.
But as far as prices - those always have an effect on me and others. Can I still buy/afford them? Yes. Is that where I want to be spending more money? frick no.

Sounds like what Texas would say about Virginia a couple of decades ago.
How'd that work out for them?

You have a certain point but, like cancer, these commies will spread throughout the country and therein lies the problem.

Cool. So you don’t care what they do there.

i don't live or have any business in either state so i don't care how it works out for them.

Intrusive regulation, higher taxes, structural unemployment, mass amnesty for illegals, race reparations, eminent domain, and global war. What's not to like?

this thread was asking about your day to day life.
no, i don't care about what they do there.

I the think you understood the meaning of my words. Maybe I should have communicated better.
