Also, not everyone votes with their pocketbooks.  Many people favor pro-choice, climate, and other topics over money.  That said, anyone who is smart enough (or even lucky enough) can capitalize on either types of governing rule.  If one let's the President dictate their financial success, they are not meant to be wealthy in the first place ....

1. My income and my future saving's. America worships the Dollar. Let's not [BLEEP] ourselves. Career politicians, lobbyism and corruption are all self evident here to begin with. When my income is healthy? So is my life in general. So is the economy, people have some spending money, it's good for everybody. 

2. Global tensions. I hate the fact that our country imposed itself into this World Policeman role. Personally? Let the animals wipe themselves out. Stop giving away our tax dollars to bottomless pits riddled with ideologies that only seem to have a cyclical system of abuse and self assured destruction. 

3. Freedom. Maintain our original rights and do not trespass upon standard laws. I don't care if you identify as a unicorn with a 12 inch pecker but somehow can claim you're a woman once a week every Saturday when it's convenient for you. I just want my guns. You can also abort your kid. Provided you can make a decision within three months. Full term abortion is just wrong. [BLEEP] or get off the pot quickly in that regard.

I hear ya ... and here's my 2 cents:

1) Inflation didn't happen overnight. The past dictates the present and Biden didn't create worldwide inflation.  Perhaps we should be thankful there's not a true recession .... and again, I think Jay Powell has more to do with the economy.  Keeping rates at 0% throughout the Trump presidency was a joke.  Do people really think we could sustain 0% interest rates?  just curious --- does anyone really believe car repair prices are going to go down.  the industry is such a rip off.

2) I don't disagree --- Trump dictates more authority but I support Ukraine so hopefully he won't let Russia expand.

3) I understand people wanting guns but I don't favor laws that allow assault rifles so I wish that was banned or restricted in some manner (e.g. shooting ranges only).

On November 6, I'll wake up and take the positives the winner has to provide.  I just hope there is a divided House and Congress to balance the power -- that's actually good for the economy.
