Respect all harm-free lifestyles. Becoming conscientious about how purchases tie into politics. Dislikes: anyone that rationalizes Trump is making America great again. Likes: animals I can pet without losing a finger, ethnic cuisine, acts of kindness.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
