The past 10 years has provided a poor path to the United States we would all like to live in. The multiple wars where the “leaders” have all wanted to show their strength by defeating “enemies “in other countries. These actions have all been expensive in human life and money. Now we have a literal moron who has done nothing in his life other than swindle and steal his way to riches on the backs of anyone who gets in his way. Unfortunately, the national climate has allowed this ascension to the top job in the country with almost unchecked power.
The Legislature is so obsessed in having the ability to make the “rules”, they have forgotten what their jobs entail. The “stump” rhetoric is forgotten once the office is gained and too often the party line takes over for better or worse. Looking at some of the changes in the country from school curriculums to national themes, one should appreciate the gravity of an informed* voter base. There have been assassination attempts and successes that highlight the effect of the far sided opinions of our politics. The Post WWII national attitude of victory over tyrants has stagnated in a “them vs Us” aura that taints all of the progress made since the 1950’s .
It is well past time to start thinking in a normal manner where everyone can have their opinion with fear of retribution. It is the responsibility of each of us to sort the facts from the “crap” by broadening our intake of information. There is no” one size fits all” in information but like the everchanging view inside a kaleidoscope we must adapt and accept the information as it appears but with a dose of common sense.
