Has the pandemic affected your political views in any way? If so, how?

<strong>I think overall, I have really lost faith in my government.</strong> I never think that I fully had faith in my government, but I think it's safe to say I have completely no trust in our system or any part of our system. I always thought I had some idea that the government would have the best interest of the lives of the people of this country over politics, but that just clearly isn't true. <strong>It makes me so incredibly sad that we live in a world that science is politicized and people are dying because of it.</strong> The especially sad part about this is that politics shouldn't result in the death of thousands of people, but here it is, happening in real time. <strong>I don't know that my political opinions have changed, but that my beliefs in universal health care and the identifying of the deep systematic inequality in our society has only fortified.</strong>
