    I find their anger often comes from the frustration of arguing with someone whose viewpoint is further away from reality than their own.

    We see you voting against your own interests and it makes us annoyed because we want the same things and so we should be on the same side.

      It’s not simply anger, but rather excessive frustration that is difficult to manage. Having lived in this country over the past four years, I’ve witnessed significant challenges and setbacks. I’m voting in my best interest, and if others disagree, it’s important to recognize that everyone has different life experiences. We all face unique struggles, so it’s unfair to assume that I am voting against my interests when many of the things I care about have been negatively impacted.

        Has what has happened in the past few weeks been helpful to you or has it been putting your finances at risk like everyone else in America who isn’t super wealthy? Consumer goods are more expensive and inflation is higher. Was that in your best interest? To have to pay more for things and for your pay to be worth less than it used to be? Do you think tariffs on goods from all over the world without giving American businesses alternatives is going to make things less costly?
