America is better than Donald Trump...

..and better than his supporters.

I can think of no way where they are better than America?

America is a good, compassionate country. America is everyman. And every woman. They are not hateful people. They are not self-deluded. They are not suckers for every lie and distraction that comes from liars of the status quo. They will prove who they are on election day.

They will not accept criminality or deception. They will not accept those that would divide our country into partitions, every dog for himself. That is not America.

I refuse to believe that it will ever be. The cruel, groveling shit-eaters will be kicked out of our government and we will build a better, more kind, America.

America is better than what people are seeing at this time.

Sorry, if America really is "better than this", I'm gonna need to see some proof.

We're a nation of selfish, narcissistic assholes. We're "Legends in Our Own Mind".

We're nothing but that piece of shit at a party bragging about our new truck and telling everyone how great they are.

We're the guy who thinks he's God's gift to women, and the mean girl shallow cheerleader who thinks she's hot shit.

We've never been the fantasy we've created. We don't suffer from delusions of grandeur...we suffer from delusions of adequacy.

Time and Time again, we've been given the opportunity to be "better than that", and we've failed miserably.

Of course, we're Americans, so just saying "we're better than this" is all we need to do to convince ourselves we really are...
