Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said in a recent interview that he is worried about the upcoming presidential election because former President Trump “learned” the political system’s weaknesses in 2020.

“The problem is now, Trump and the Trump-type folks have learned where the weaknesses are in the system,” Kinzinger said on The Bulwark podcast on Tuesday.

    To me the fact that you’re passionate about voting means you believe that it’s possible for things to improve and in my book that’s being optimistic.

      I do have hope because it’s hard to live without it. I’m probably a little jaded because I live in a predominantly red area. I’ll just keep voting and doing my best to get others to vote as well. Also planning on going to some school board meetings soon if it works with my schedule.

      Yes I have offspring

      I hope people remember what it was like and what was done under that president and what that party has done lately. I worry people have either stop paying attention or have grown apathetic. That’s what will lead to trump again because we have to come out in large numbers to counteract all the Tom foolery they’re going to be up to.
