    We are fundamentally broken. It doesn’t matter. It’s been a facade the whole time.

    He is america. A racist misogynist bully.

    I’m going to blame reconstruction failing. We never corrected the hypocrisy at our core and this is the result.

      Who is “we”? You had some big part in this? Stop blaming yourself and please stop blaming me. There’s not much need to self-identify with an oppressive system if you’re not actively doing the oppressing. The nationalist “we” is garbage.

      Amen. Trump is showing the world what America truly is. The rest of the world sees this. Many Americans do not.

      And to throw an olive branch, many countries are a Trump away from the same realization.

          Being an optimist it’s waves throughout humanity and this is merely the most recent one. We are better as a species though still not perfect. My gut tells me we will make it out of this but like many times before the old thinking will need to die.

          We are going to look back at the greed rampant today for the mental disease if truly is and address the underlying issue that makes people like Elon or Bezos not only exist but thrive. We will come to the realization that people like that are not normal and we will no longer idolize or encourage such destructive individualism.
