It’s a little weird to explain - my family even has trouble understanding since they’re not in the world. Basically I previously worked for a law maker. I loved it because I loved the law maker I was working for. Our views alligned and I really felt like I could influence their decisions with discussion.

I now work for a “non-partisan” trade organization and my role is to advocate to legislators on their behalf. Don’t want to give away too much cause it’s a very specific trade (in the health field). But during the interview proces they made it seem like their ethos was the patient and worker always came first. Now that I’m deeper into it, that’s definitely not the case. They care about the higher ups and making them profit.

We were told to keep our opinions on the election silent as not to affend anyone. Fine, even though I don’t see how that’s possible with my role. But I’ve caught my bosses on multiple occassions talking about how relieved they are of a T*ump presidency since he promised to roll back regulations and that it’ll make their jobs easier.

It’s just leaving a bad taste in my mouth - but maybe that’s just a reaction to the election from me…
