My republican roommate is yelling "four more years" and "stop the steal" at the tv in her room.

I can hear her grumbling "he's not even an American" and "republicans are taking over".

I can't wait to move. Hopefully, I will be able to move in early 2021.

I would love to move immediately but I lost my job and can't afford to move right now. She knows that I am very much a liberal democrat.

I think she was watching some right wing thing and they probably mentioned Obama.

The rent is cheap and I never discuss politics with her. I just try to ignore her.

I plan to get a place with just me and my two cats. I will post when that happens. I had planned to move in 2020 but then covid kind of messed up my plans.

They will recognize trumpcultism as a mental disease and you'll be able to involuntarily commit them.
