I have lost all faith in American politics. Our economic system is nothing more now than a machine to ensure that the elites get whatever they want from the common man.
Evil people have found how to game the system, and in so doing they have wrecked it. We have a demagogue, sociopath, and kleptocrat as President and we have a majority of empty suits that corporate lobbyists can expect to follow orders to serve only about a percentage of the American people.
Whatever pride I might have had in being an American I have lost -- maybe forever. Were it a simple measure to change nationality I would do so now.
We might as well demolish those giant sculptures at Mount Rushmore. Admirable as were the men those sculptures represent, those four greats no longer have any relevance to American politics. The veneer of democracy is but a sham.
I especially feel shame in being a white American, the demographic that foolishly chose a man who will be a tyrant. Our elected government will soon be just another criminal enterprise. Furthermore I am now convinced that we will never have another free election.
America has become the Evil Empire.
I say of those who voted thinking that Donald Trump would make America Great Again -- the only thing great about him will be the second Great Depression that will begin on his watch. He will start wars for profit, and your children will be the first to join -- and return in body bags.
I will get no satisfaction in telling you "I told you so!" when it happens. I tell this to you now when you have yet to experience the tragedy.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
