elected I thought that must be a mistake and that could never happen esp. here. But when I see how Trump can twist anything and brag on it, I am afraid that it is happening here.

The minds of so many have been cultured by Fox News and the radical Right Wing. They have been fed dangerous propaganda demonizing anyone but the Rich, Christian and white male.

I have seen a movement from a civil inclusive society considered "melting pot", to a dog eat dog survival uncontrolled fearsome search for scapegoats.

What happened on the conservative side with "home of the brave"? They are afraid to use our laws to control and make right the injustices of our country. The banks, the environment, rapid fire guns in the hands of maniacs, systemic racism, immigration, the economy and the Guantanamo detainees have been stymied by fear on the the right. They don't have the courage to explore the truth and mediate the solutions. They don't have the strength of character to toss out the money lenders ( I say lenders because the large donors consider it an investment and they want a return.) and fight for a better union according to our Preamble.

Stupidity and greed and fear are not traits I wish represent the moral character of our country.

Bernie had it all right and Hillary can carry that mantle to the White House and she knows how to work hard to make it work. I fear that a world under all RW Republican rule will result in unfathomable unraveling and destruction of a decent America.
