Zariah Saldivar, a Fresno City College student majoring in pre-allied health, said, “I feel that it is horrible. I think that we are reclining back to our old ways as a nation, we used to be progressive. Well not very progressive compared to other nations, but we were moving forward. And now it kinda feels like we’re taking a step back. Especially with the presidential elect now. And not just that too; it’s also global warming. It’s just very bad and they don’t really keep in check for people that they should and they expect us, as the civilians, to do everything.”
Shyla Adams, a Fresno City College student double majoring in Administration of Justice and Law Public Policy and Society said, “I feel the current state of the country is down. I do feel it could be better. I think as someone who put a part in the voting for Trump; I agree with some policies. I don’t agree with all the policies. And I think some of the policies that have been given out have helped our country a little bit more when it comes to illegal immigrants and just making sure that we’re going up the process the right way. And also prioritizing the American people. So I do feel we are in a rut and I’m not gonna just blame Biden and Trump. No, I think it’s years of issues that haven’t been dealt with correctly, and a lot of passiveness just for trying to bring people in, and I think that we as a country should get back to structure. I think that’s something that we are kind of lacking right now is structure. So, yeah, that’s kind of my view on it right now, it’s that we lack structure and I think we are slowly getting back to that.”
Romo, a Fresno City College student majoring in dietetics, said, “I really don’t get into all the political stuff. For where I stand, I feel like I’m doing all right in it, so it’s not as bad as it seems.”
Marquez, a Fresno City College student majoring in Spanish, said, “Unfortunately, I feel like there’s a lot of division and a lot of people who aren’t open minded. So, yeah a lot of conflicts.”
Lor a Fresno City College student majoring in business finance, said, “I feel like it has evolved but also had some setbacks, you know? Just yeah, we evolved, but then we had some setbacks in putting us back, like the recent stuff that’s been happening.”
Arce a Fresno City College student majoring in Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning, H.V.A.C. said, “I feel like it’s chaotic.”
