How politically energized are you?

I don’t know if it’s the awesome memes, Trump killing it, the loathsome way to left acts, or all of the above. I definitely care about politics more now than I ever have. It feels like a tipping point in our countries history. I’m 28 if that matters. How about you?

I am 29. I’ve never voted. I will crawl to the poll for midterms.

I'm not hyper political but I spend more time than necessary thinking about how I hate the progressives. Probably not healthy. I don't want them to change their lives but are actively fighting to change mine. frick them.

It's more like anti-politically energized. Having a non beltway madman in the white house restoring the courts is quickening.

I am 40 years old and have exercised my civic duty as a tax paying citizen of voting every election since I was 18. I have never and will never vote for a democrat candidate.

My biggest voting regret is that I pulled a lever for John McCain in 2008. I would not have voted for Obama if you had a gun to my head, however.

Seeing how the left has responded to Trump winning, culminating with the Kavanaugh debacle has me pretty fired up.

I wasn’t too optimistic about the Trump presidency. I really wasn’t sure if he had the skills requisite for the job. He stumbled a bit out of the gate and I think he’s shot himself in the foot a few times, but dammit... he fights. You can question his methods, but objectively speaking, he’s been far and away the most effective president of my adult life. He’s rattled off accomplishment after accomplishment. My lib buddy was convinced there’d be nukes inbound within 6 months of him taking office, and yet we’ve got more peace globally than at anytime post WWII. They said he’d crash the economy, yet it’s growing faster than it has in decades. They said manufacturing jobs were gone forever and it turns out all he had to do was create conditions for them to come back. He’s improving the economic lot for blacks, Latinos and women.

He’s taught Republicans how to fight, and drug the party kicking and screaming into a platform that’s sustainable for winning elections: less social conservatism with a big tent economic policy that has something for business AND the working class. If he follows through on Criminal Justice Reform and Legalized Marijuana, 2020 is over.

Made another donation to Trump on Thursday. 3rd donation to Trump. 2 in 2016 and this one. Political donations to all other candidates in my lifetime = ZEfrickINGRO.

The constant upheaval and overblown partisan tantrums have made me tune out of domestic issues for the last year or so, mostly just focus on staying informed on trade and international relations.

I have a moral opposition to voting.

Well 6 months ago I would have been my usual “I’ll make it to the polls sometime on Election Day”

Now if I’m not there with Lee Greenwood playing on my cell while they are opening the doors, it will be a fail.

13 out of 10.

I plan to vote on the first day of early voting. I would vote more than once if they would let me.

I decided against it but for the first time I actually considered volunteering for a campaign.

2016= 10/10
2018= 6/10 but still voting no matter what. Being energized for that long would wear out anybody. I think the Dems made a big mistake with the Kavanaugh hearing. Made us realized they haven't changed and never will.

Same
I have never even remotely been this interested in politics. Once trump took office, it literally may have saved our county

I’m so disgusted in liberal left, I’ll vote republican every time I ever have the opportunity for the rest of my life.

I used to watch oscars, SNL, late night tv.

frick all of those low life liberals that shite or our vote and our president. They are all dead to me now.
