33. I guess it depends on what you define as real change

- the Affordable Care Act is real change.
- the first Infrastructure Bill in 80 years is real change.
- the Inflation Reduction Act is real change.
- Justice Jackson on the Supreme Court is real change.

Secretary of State: Antony Blinken instead of Marco Rubio is real change

Secretary of the Treasury: Janet Yellen instead of Scott Bessent is real change.

Secretary of Defense: Lloyd Austin instead of Pete Hegseth is real change.

Attorney General: Merrick Garland instead of Pam Bondi is real change.

Secretary of the Interior: Deb Haaland instead of Doug Burgum is real change.

Secretary of Agriculture: Tom Vilsack instead of Brooke Rollins is real change.

Secretary of Commerce: Gina Raimondo instead of Howard Lutnik is real change.

Secretary of Labor: Marty Walsh instead of Keith Sonderling is real change.

Secretary of Health and Human Services: Xavier Becerra instead of RFCocaine Jr is real change.

Secretary of Housing and Urban Development: Marcia Fudge instead of Scott Turner is real change.

Secretary of Transportation: Pete Buttigieg instead of Sean Duffy is real change.

Secretary of Energy: Jennifer Granholm instead of Chris Wright is real change.

Secretary of Education: Miguel Cardona instead of Linda MacMahan is real change.

Secretary of Homeland Security: Alejandro Mayorkas instead of Kristi Noam is real change.

But, speaking of change, how you like the current "change" our country is going through?

But I have a better question for you; "would the lives of the LGBTQ community be better, or worse under a Democratic administration, or the current one?"
