Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsMichelle Obama was only partly true when she said PRESIDENCY doesn't change you ..but reveals you.
I totally agree with her...and she has been proven right.
What she left out was that a president also reveals something about a country...
Trump has laid bare the ugly side of America... The demons we thought were long dead /marginalized were never so.
They were just dormant..... It is waking up... And it is only a question of time before we find ourselves in a much darker place than we have ever feared.

I thought we had come a long way. I was wrong.
