Lots of things, but the Dems refusal to do anything about abortion, the children locked up in cages at the border, and creeping monopolies got me thinking they were almost the same as Republicans. Daylights saving time still being a thing despite everyone hating it made me wonder if the cruelty was the point, if it wasn't just the most galling indifference.

Capitalism in particular - I was working for a company that did some off shoring in Ukraine when the war broke out. I still haven't really processed all this but having coworkers doing the same shit I was while they were getting shelled was absolutely fucked.
