8. I agree with absolutely every word.

You speak for a lot of us here, I think.
I've been saying this myself.
I feel like I'm in a nightmare.

We relocated to PA in 2022 to be close to kids and grandkids after my husband retired. We had lived in the area before moving to NYS in 2001.

I cannot believe what we have come back to. So many MAGA...so many wealthy MAGA. I feel so lost, like I'm in an enemy camp. I can't even befriend my neighbors.
