The US system of government has been heading south for a long time. As in the economy, in the past business were all about the money. The businesses were excellent at camouflaging that money was the root of all the business stood for. They made the customer feel good and the product was manufactured with pride and had a reasonable useful life. The entire systems, political and economic have slowly stopped caring about what the customer/voter thinks of them. The money is the only thing that matters!
I think that Donald Trump came in and just accelerated the race to ripping all the remaining camouflage off. He has exposed the system in a quick and dirty fashion. People on this board have been paying attention these last months, so I'm not going into the examples. They are everywhere. Some are trivial, some a little more disturbing and some things are almost beyond comprehension. One side is quick to pounce on the most trivial mistep/gaffe, the other is quick to point out the lightweight nature of whatever the news is. We can condemn, defend and turn a blind eye to all of this and it will not change anything. Until the money is dealt with the United States of America will continue to have the government we presently have and I believe it will get worse. I also think that we the people don't have the gumption or the interest in changing anything. Left, right they're all crooked. Donald Trump just pulled all the cosmetics off the old girl and she's not looking good in the mirror.
