How the American Idiot Made America Unlivable

[PJMcK]

1. It wasn't just Trump

America's demise has been over 50 years in the making. In the mid-1960s, Barry Goldwater and his band of ultra-Conservatives began the death march to today's sad results.

The Republicans, and later Teabaggers and Trumpists, have been responsible for:

- The diminishment of our public education
- The diminishment of our public health systems
- The rise of Corporatism
- The diminishment of our infrastructure
- The court-packing with ignorant right-wing judges
- The militarization of our police forces
- The divisions between our police forces and the citizens they are meant to serve
- The diminishment of American influence in world affairs

There are so many more things they've done to damage our country in their greedy pursuits of money and power.

In fact, Trump hasn't even been that effective in these pursuits. I'd suggest that Republican Senators and Congressmen have been far more influential in these negative goals than Trump. And let's not excuse the many State-level Republicans who damaged their own communities in their avarice.
