GOP will be using fear in this election.

And as Luke's once fictional teacher said, fear is the path to the dark side.

And Trump has caused a lot of suffering.

He may have caused more suffering than what existed in his first term.

First term: COVID deaths

Second term: Cancelling cancer research, ACA subsidies, USAID funding, etc.
