The state of ordinary affairs in everyday life for many average American has declined over the last several years. To any average working class American, it is likely apparently obvious that in many regards, both in fiscal, social, and cultural terms, the quality of life within the country has severely deteriorated in recent years. Since the 2020 presidential election and the incumbent president Joe Bidens victory over Donald Trump the former 45th president, things have become volatile within the country. Economically, rampant inflation has crushed average American families everywhere since it became a problem following the early 2021 inauguration of Biden. Levels peaked at decades heights in late 2022, but the problem still persists, growing worse with each passing day, week, month and year. Basic household necessities like food, clothing, water, groceries in total and energy costs have skyrocketed, tightening the budgets of many working class families. Additionally, interest rates have skyrocketed, and the reality is that many young Americans simply cannot afford to purchase a home.
Wages have stagnated, and the buying power of the dollar has declined.
As the presidential election draws nearer, political tensions increase as Joe Biden and Donald Trump gear up for the upcoming contest. Trump currently faces several criminal indictments. Trump was convicted of a felony in a New York City trial involving the adult film actress Stormy Daniels and Trump. In a recent CNN poll, most Americans polled felt Trump was not being given a fair trial. It certainly appears that the American political and judicial systems are broken, volatile and possibly corrupted.
The incumbent president, Joe Biden, continues to face political pressure from within his own party as individuals continue to call for his removal from the ticket after a poor debate performance. Now, the president also faces the possibility of legal issues after Tara Reade announced that she wishes to press charges for an alleged assault that took place decades ago.
