BRUH I WAS LITERALLY JUST THINKING ABOUT THIS AFTER WATCHING VIDEOS OF PEOPLE REACT TO THE 2008 ELECTION RESULTS. It really feels as though society was a lot more optimistic back then, even if we were in an awful recession at the time. It's such a contrast to 2020 where you have a lot of George Floyd protests and looting and burning stores. I really do believe society has gone backwards which is just sad. It's weird how I don't remember anything from that day even though I also come from a mixed-raced family just like Obama. You'd think I would be able to remember the excitement, but I sadly don't remember As much as I dont live in America, I could not agree more, just how Trump has been doing nothing to help the economy during this really bad recession, and instead, he's doing nothing but ruin America. But what are your thoughts on Biden? Biden is way too old to be president IMO. I think it’s pretty clear he has dementia. Not trying to insult him or anything. I do think picking Kamala as VP was an awful choice though.

You'd think I would be able to remember the excitement, but I sadly don't remember My youngest brother doesn't remember a world before Obama. He was 7 when trump was elected, the same age I was when obama won in 2008. He grew up in a very different america than the one I grew up in. If I was 7 in 2020 and I saw what was happening I would be very very scared. I worry for young kids today especially black kids. Yeah, it’s a big contrast from how early and core Gen Z grew up. We spent our childhoods mostly in the Obama era where things were generally more optimistic. But late Gen Z grew up under Trump where race relations are getting worse. So it’ll be interesting to see how they turn out.

God I miss 2008, especially with how crummy my life has been over the past few months. I was 9 at the time. With it being April, I would have been on school holidays for most of the month and I remember I went on a two-night stay down to Ulladulla with my Grandparents and two cousins. I've actually got quite a few photos from this month that I would be open to sharing if people were interested.
