23. The real problem IMO

Sep 2023

Yes we can reach out differently and better than we have so far but I think that far to many Americans just dont give a damn about democracy and preserving the institutions that protect it.. All they care about are the symbols..

Its a sad fact that even 10 % would vote for a man like Trump..

Luckily not all are like this.. but there is a rotten core to America..bitter , angry, fearful, uncaring about truth and totally resistant to it .

They see threats everywhere and willing to follow a lying demagogue who promises everything ...if only we will trust him with total power...

We have seen this scenario before in other countries in other times..

I am so disgusted with about 40% of the people of this country!!
