Much of the problem was that America was great during the tax and spend liberal era, but there were too many racist wanting to stay above minorities to value the working poor.  Thus, unions were crippled, benefits were limited, racist violent policing was pushed, jobs were sent overseas, and the division of wealth was exaggerated.  Problems were ignored to keep the desired small government and low taxes.

I'm hoping that the absolute need to get rid of Trump will give the Democrats enough time to show their agenda is a cost effective one.  There may not be enough racism around to continue America as un great.  We will see how the conservatives remake themselves, if they can seriously fight the progressive agenda.  They might become a fringe minority of freaks still rallying around a Trump who is much scorned by most, or they might get rid of the obvious elites and racist affiliations that are playing a large role in taking the Republicans down.

Again, I agree.  Obama couldn't be the change President because it would have devolved into violence then, and still may.  On the other hand, the light has finally turned on the so-called conservatives, and they don't look very good at all.  Will that trigger a reassessment on the Right?  My Magic 8-Ball is fuzzy on that one.
