"Only 4 more years"
Wow, that's depressing. We can fall a lot further than we already have in 4 more years.

Trump has already suggested . . .
. . that he should get more than 4 more years. It may take military action to get him out of the White House.

She's still in her 20's. I suppose she figures she has time.
And, like her, I recall being a lot less inclined to compromise on my principles when I was in my 20's. America will drive that unwillingness to compromise on one's principles out of anyone, if they want to eat.

Fair question
I haven't lived in Russia, where they had (have?) gulags for those who tried to maintain their principles.
Nor in China where they move a party member into your bed to make sure you toe the line
Nor in any of the banana republics where people simply disappear.
So what was your point?

Your comment claimed knowledge not necessarily at your disposal.
Americans love to do that. It's an extension of "We're the Greatest Nation on Earthâ„¢." I didn't want to accuse you of that without knowing if you had, in fact, at least some first hand experience living in other places from which to draw upon.

Missed this a while ago, sorry
Because 25 is brain pruning. 25 is when you're an actual adult.

No worries. Looking back, the reason for your question was obvious. I'm sorry. And post. ;0)

Nevertheless..
Early on, a friend--opining about an involvement with one such age, said, NEVER! 'date a 25(ish?) woman'.. ~~"they are in transition to --> they know not what; emotions want You to believe that --that pillow talk is Who-they-Are. 'Taint-so, McGee'". .... etc.
(With later experience(s) I could neither confirm/deny but .. callow-yout ensures that 'the advice' won't be heeded.) And he was right-enough, that I've Recalled the point ... ever since. YMMV
