My Walk With Rohan

Interesting conversation, but also made me feel uneasy

Going to record all the thoughts I have after I go on walks with random people, like I did with the Yash one 202006010927

1. It was pretty disturbing how Rohan mentioned when he was talking about his sister that “all girls go through some stuff” when they’re at that age, when he was talking about the arguments that I used to have with Arya.
2. When he was talking about AOC, he was talking about how a lot of people think that she’s crazy - don’t a lot of people think that Trump’s crazy? But the disturbing part - he talked about how beautiful she was, and if she was president, he would tune in to all of the state of the union addresses, etc.
3. This was a thought that I actually thought was interesting - he argued that it wouldn’t be too bad if Trump was elected 202006062348, because it would make it so that in 4 years, there might be another Obama, who would actually shake the system, instead of Biden, who’s just going to be in the pocket of special interest groups and won’t actually get stuff done
4. When we’re older, we might vote conservative as well - at some point you have to think practically
5. America is interesting - the fact that American can elect Obama, and just 4 years later elect Trump, says something powerful about the power of the Democratic vote, and how the winds of society can blow in many different directions
6. When Trump was elected, people needed someone who was going to address the issue of manufacturing jobs going away from America and America losing its sheen, which was something that Democrats didn’t mention at all. The only problem was, people thought that eventually, Trump would actually be able to deliver on his promises, but that turned out not to be the case. 202006080227
