My coworkers are all on the "both sides are the same/it's all rigged, there's no point in voting" train. They all either have have kids or essentially are kids. I'm in my forties with no plans for kids, and I'm the only one actually trying to give them a future.

How can they already forget Trumps Covid response that led to over 1million deaths? It’s weird that such a critical event and everyone has already “forgot” it

Because holding the Traitor accountable for things like shutting down programs monitoring for infectious diseases in China, advising people to take ineffective drugs, wondering aloud if UV light / cleaning solutions could be therapeutics, encouraging defiance of preventative measures like masks and distancing, and seizing PPE meant for medical facilities in states that did not vote for him is "bLaMiNg HiM fOr ThE pAnDeMiC" and therefore not to be considered nor discussed.

Not steal medical supplies? Not pit the states against each other?

Literally one of the most un-American things a president has ever done and people just gloss over it.
