I became a Florida resident a couple of months ago. Since I've lived here for over two years now, legally, it seemed necessary. The only other two states in which I've been a registered voter are New York and California. Voting seemed SO easy compared to now... or even two years ago when I was so sick, I couldn't be bothered to even send my absentee ballot to CA.
I pay close attention to news/ current affairs, but everything is just so... mired in Trump and his bullshit, that I can't seem to figure out the best way to think things through.
Can anyone help a woman who's always, fairly comfortably, voted in states and districts that didn't consistently hold up to her *mild* leftist leanings; who now lives among... well... a very good number of people whose views (or something??) cause them to completely dismiss a different idea as soon as they find out it might be different? The left-leaners here tend to stay quiet, while the righties (or whatever they are now) spout their shit. Since I work in FOH at a restaurant, that's where I have to hear it, and I also have to bite my tongue painfully. I'm looking for a new job, but I can't be guaranteed much of anything here.
I'm just a little lost, and I'm not really sure how to approach this whole voting thing here.
