I am going to encourage you to actually read a variety of news sources and don’t take anyone’s opinion for anything political in the USA. People often disagree about things political but that doesn’t mean we have to hate each other or do the old blame and criticize game. Learn to think for yourself.  I encourage you to not just watch the mainstream news but to listen to a variety of radio shows, read a variety of news organizations and start to recognize when stuff is a personal attack. People should give examples, and figure out for yourself is this is a lie. Find good news sources that are not opinion, and yes it is hard to find these. The flip of the script that Orange Man is bad is that a Biden presidency has its own scary issues. You have corruption with that man with China and his son,  Hunter. You have his poor cognitive functioning, someone will be controlling him. Ms. Harris has her own corruption issues, she was pro police and locking up criminals before now, and both Biden and Harris and Trump are multi-millionaires if not billionaires. I heard it said recently that we are all being fed a hoax in our country. If we examine the history of our public policy in the USA, we see that neither of our political parties have truly had the people’s well being at the forefront. Some say that Trump is hated by the media so much because he isn’t a true politician, he is his own thinker and he does what he thinks is right rather than playing the game of doing nothing for the people. The Dems play the Repubs and the Repubs blame the Dems — but what if neither party is doing anything for us. The blame of Trump is merely a smoke screen to get people to not be objective and not look behind the curtain and figure out reality from falsehoods. Every action has both bad and good in it. Nothing is 100% anything. Those who have power in our country are not looking after the little people, the you and me people, which is why they scream that this one is bad or that one is bad. We have to think deeper and reason things out. Actually listen to the upcoming debates and listen to what the candidate say in their speeches. Question things, for example why is an issue an issue, what is the for and the against as we reason in our own minds. Listen to a debate or a political speech and say to yourself, is this simply criticizing someone personally or is this person able to talk policy and give facts, history, reasons? Again, my goal is for you to think for yourself and don’t take anyone else’s ideas as right or wrong.

Children can bring you much joy if this is what you want. The world is difficult right now for many people. The news we hear in the USA is mostly falsehoods. The lies and disrespect from one person to another is breaking our country apart. I do not think whomever is elected come November is a reason to not have a child, or to have a child. I admit I did not read this entire thread but I would say that the reason to have another child is because you want one and you feel ready to raise another. This may never be how you feel but it has to be true to what you think is best for your life. Knowing yourself and learning to examine things in life will give you more confidence and less anxiety. Your young one is still very young. Many people choose to wait until their kids are about 4-5-6 years apart, others think 2 years apart is ideal but that is like having two in diapers. If you feel you are a good parent and have more love to give, then I encourage you to do what is right for you according to your own decisions about what is right for your life. Best wishes.
