Politics

Such an important, yet depressing topic. Speaking as someone who has loved the United States, served in its military, and believed in our founding principles and our continuing quest to live up to those principles—to now realize that we have become…the bad guys.

This is an actual post by the President of the United States.

Meanwhile, the Vice President of the United States is in Hungary actively campaigning for the pro-Putin candidate, Viktor Orbán.

Under Trump, the U.S. is no longer a civilized country. How could we have come to this? It makes me sad, embarrassed, and angry; all at the same time. I can’t believe Americans voted for this, twice.

Not ready to give up, though. Don’t think we can ever go back to the status quo ante, but we must work to pull ourselves up to higher ground. We owe it to our children. The moral arc of the universe won’t bend on its own.
