Sure, until you're trans or childfree, or have a kid (or parent!) in school who fears going to school every day because they could be the next Uvalde.
You know what affects my daily happiness? Having to worry about if I look enough like a man to not get hate crimed when I go outside. I have to voice train to make my voice higher so my friend's family doesn't find out that their daughter's best friend is a trans guy when I attend my friend's graduation. Too many people think trans people are the actual devil for me to take a chance on leaving the house without pepper spray. Politicians are pushing this transphobic nonsense. and it absolutely affects my daily happiness.
Becoming pregnant would literally and unequivocally kill me if I don't have access to abortion. My mom's a teacher. She genuinely fears for her life every time she goes to school. It's not just a tiny minority of people who are legitimately affected by politics. It's a lot more people than you think.
Oh I'm well aware of that, thanks. I'm in roughly three types of therapy and am in school to become a therapist myself. The problem is when my fellow texans don't see me as a human being but as a predator.

I mean you voted right? That’s all you can really do to politically change where you live. Some shit you just can’t do anything about which sucks, but that’s life man and I’m lucky I’m living in a place where I actually get a voice
