Not too late

I now feel confident that America will repair itself.

Something turned after the state of the union address and Trump's latest stunt selling bibles saw a level of vitriol from the populace that finally said "enough!". The con man had stepped too far.

It is not hard to comprehend why a segment of the population of any nation is always ripe for being sold almost anything. With no critical thinking skills and an astonishing level of disinterest, they can be sold a bill of goods provided they are dissatisfied enough with their current life. I have family members who avoid the news so it does not surprise me. Their mouths will be agape when you mention something you thought was almost common knowledge.

There is too much criminality here for Trump to escape and his antics have taken the congress to the brink of complete dysfunction thanks to the alliance of people with no principles or moral fiber.

If the last 8 years should have taught the country anything is that there is much repair to be done. Money and special interests control politicians and an electoral college hampers the advancement of a nation that has long outgrown it. A handful of the  more backward states tend to decide the fate of a country that desperately needs to move forward.

It is definitely not too late.
