There will be new technologies, new injustices, new outrages, new problems. But the one constant will be 33% Republican, 40% Democrat (7% which do not seem to vote so the Republicans narrowly retain the edge, and 27% apolitical independents). The people running the country will continue to let us down. It will be no different than it has been since this country was founded in that respect. We will continue to fall short of our ideals.
