Why are Trump and MAGA Republicans saying that China is destroying Americans with 'synthetic opioids' every day?

Is approaching women a waste of time? I feel like no matter what, I’m deemed as a threat or they already have a lot of men approaching them.
I'm 17 and I recognize that America is politically a mess right now. I don't fully agree with either party (i.e. Trump tariffs, abortion, etc.), and I don't feel comfortable fully supporting either party. What should I do?
