President Trump's dictator-like administration is attacking the values America holds dearThis monarchy in disguise has been so exhausting and chaotic, its not in the least bit surprising so many citizens are disillusioned.

What is happening, right now, is so deeply disturbing that instead of the United States of America, we are now defined as the Divided States of America. Leaders on both sides lack the fundamental courage to cross political aisles on behalf of what is good for the American people.
Were at a point in time where I reluctantly believe that we have much to lose it is a critical and unforgiving moment. This monarchy in disguise has been so exhausting and chaotic, its not in the least bit surprising so many citizens are disillusioned.
The vast majority of Americans are busy with real life; trying to make ends meet and deeply frustrated by how hard Washington makes it to do just that.
But this is it. There are only 11 months left before the presidential election; 11 months before we get our one real chance to right this ship and change the course of disaster that lies before us.
Lets rededicate ourselves to voting for truth, character and integrity in our representatives (no matter which side were on). Lets go back to being the leader the world so desperately needs. Lets return, quickly, to being simply ... Americans.

(102,104 posts)4. Redford, DeNiro, Fonda, Waterman, Stephen King, Martin Sheen, Belafonte, Beatty,
Clooney, Streisand, Geldof, Michael J. Fox, and many more have given a lifetime of progressive service to our causes. I'm especially grateful for their voices now.
May they remain active and healthy for many many more years and may this and coming generations, listen.
