Michelle 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.

...ripped the scab off a giant pustule of low class, nasty people who do not deserve to be citizens of this country.

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