It has to be tough being American:

To be in a country that has everything going for it. A country that has the power to be a world leader. That has a strong and proud history of defending democracy and advancement and see it all hijacked by the right wingers in the name of "Freedom" and "Liberty" while those very things are sold out for political gain and Responsibility and Respect are thrown away.
Thieves on Capitol Hill. Dodgy Used Car Salesmen in the White House. TV and Movies populated by Perverts, Predators and Bigots and a rabid gun toting, bible thumping, semi literate population who are pandered to by appeasers.
No Morals, no ethics and thank goodness, due to the gullibility of the masses and the greed of the few, not too much future.
Will the last intelligent American turn the lights off as he or she leaves and watch the place descend into the Wild West, until they run out of ammo?

The Racist Right is flying the plane right now, with Trump in the cockpit, and he’s not even pretending to be even-handed. He’s not even denouncing Roseanne’s racist tweets, after making a big deal about her show being “about us” (although in retrospect, perhaps he’s right, she does represent [b]his[/b] values). The network president apologised because someone they hired made openly racist tweets—Trump wants to know why the network hasn’t apologised to [b]him[/b].
And people are STILL making excuses for both Roseanne [b]and[/b] him.
