For whatever reason, the Donald administration has put up a public survey about peoples’ priorities in his first 100 days.
So if you’re from the US, you should take it, and if I may–I suggest that (among many terrible options and ideas) you say that making childcare tax-deductible, lobbyist bans, and veterans’ healthcare are all very important, and that Keystone XL, offshore drilling, etc. are not important to you.
At worst, you waste 5 minutes of your time; at best, enough people take it and he gets steered into a less insane direction. The dude does not seem to have a good idea of what he’s doing, and you can imagine that public opinion is going to be very important to him because he is an insecure man-child, so maybe you can influence some public good, capisce? Throw me a reply if you end up doing it. Have fun!
I just took this survey. For each question you have the options of highly important, somewhat important, not important, and no opinion. So I just put “not important” on the topics like “Deporting undocumented immigrants” and “Repealing Obamacare.” And I put “highly important” on questions such as “modernizing infrastructure.” We can play him at his own game :)
This is the sort of thing that could help our voices be heard. Not saying he’s guaranteed to listen, and it’s probably not as effective as speaking with your representative, but if he’s asking for the nation’s opinion, he should get it from all of us - including those that don’t agree.
I did this, why tf not.
Question 17 scares the fuck out of me, frankly:
Set the standard for an “America First” foreign policy that ends regime-change, nation-building, and instead focuses on a motto of peace through strength.
America First has some nasty connotations in our history. And “peace through strength”? That’s some Orwellian-sounding shit right there.
