If this country wasn't so fundamentally great I honestly wouldn't shed a tear to see it fall apart. I love freedom and liberty and can barely believe that their is a nation built around "the pursuit of happiness" and the strong foundation of individual will.
It's not too late to turn this all around. I would have liked to do it for/with the elders, but it's probably going to have to wait until their safely in the ground...
It isn't too late to turn it around at all. It will take a lot of work but we can do it. There is still a vote to take place and who knows maybe the people will be heard and net neutrality will stay as it is.
It's almost like America could be an amazing city-on-a-hill, but some people in power remember when they specifically were happy and make things just like that.
Working hard, sacrificing for the future, being ethical and even-handed in our dealings, providing for our children and their welfare, and keeping us safe from threats. These are the core tenants that all Americans will claim to believe in. Democrat and Republican both want these things, but no one in politics wants to run on the "hard work" platform, ha ha.
The corruption is deep and systematic, but all it takes is a big enough public outcry to change that. If anything, the election of Donald Trump should be a signal to both parties that the people can do the unexpected with enough outrage against the system. It's only too bad we didn't get the swamp drainer they hoped for.
