A very charged and politically divided time, where both sides of our political spectrum believe the “other” guy is bad news bears, and their chosen political leader is the true way towards a brighter future—plus, there’s a pandemic to boot!

 

Things couldn’t get more “2020” if they were in hindsight, which, conveniently for you, me, it is.
