    Nope, his previous presidency did not affect me at all. No one I know seems worried about it either. That said, the his last term my sister got married to her wife in part to get ahead of any anti lgbt legislation he might he might have passed.

      To be sure, if you’re only looking at direct immediate impact, no president has ever affected most of us, not even Trump. However if you paid attention to pretty much anything larger than yourself, pretty much everything was negatively impacted.

      Most of us were never “grabbed by the pussy”, or defamed and slandered, held up for national ridicule. Most of us were not attacked in a vain attempt at reversing an election, nor were most of us physically harmed when he instigated an attempted coup. Most of didn’t lose anything when he enriched himself from wealthy benefactors and foreign influence, nor lose anything as he instigated trade wars and bickered with our allies. Most of us did not lose our lives as a result of his giving up classified information including names of agents. Most of us were not singled out from spite or racism. Most of us have not yet been harmed by climate change, especially that part he managed to speed up. Most of us did not unnecessarily die from denial of a pandemic. Almost half of us have not been harmed by losing any rights to our own bodies. I guess we weren’t harmed when he never even attempted to follow through with most of his promises.
