Watching the Super Bowl gave me Hope

This country we live in really isn't about the haters.

We are much better than that.

Trump and his foul retinue may raise hell and spread misery, but they will never corrupt the heart of the vast majority of America.

It just feels off after all these years siding with big business. I loved so many of the messages(I feel the need to build something out of wood now lol!!) but as a lifelong dem I have always railed against many of these companies. Having them just appear in our court feels strange.

Maybe I'm just paranoid with all the deception going on but I can't shake this feeling that it's wrong.
