(#5904) The republicans got their wild west opportunity

      We shall see how it plays out but a wild west scenario is the direction trump will push our society. No more fairness or equality. Instead it will be survival of the fittest even though no one is born with any greater deserve than another. What is so astonishing to me is that we the people of the US are willing to let it happen. Instead of building a society that honors all of us with equal footing. There cannot be peace when the struggle is self inflicted. Peace is where we all can come out into the light of day or dark of night and feel secure in our being. With this new dynamic not even the light of day is safe now.
     When it is open season on people like we are in, a shooting game preserve, the nightmare of a feared survival is not nuanced, it is starkly real. Instead of finding commonality so that our lives are simpler to lead, we have chosen to leave ourselves vulnerable to the uncaring who have no compunction to care about anyone but themselves. We did this to ourselves and are still doing it. I am in a bit of a state of shock that we Americans are so out of tune with normalcy and improving society for the better for all. We all who are born into this existence are  not incapable of seeing what other countries are doing to improve their societies so what is wrong with us?
     Whatever the wrong with us is has us spiraling down as an advancing society to go back to the days where punishments for doing nothing wrong is acceptable. Our nation is going against the rights of our species to have an existence that compliments us instead of one that degrades and subjects us. Our history has shown that nothing good comes from a society where less democratic values exist. Yet as an American society have failed to learn that lesson as a rule. The privilege now being installed will destroy individual creativity in order for the dullards in charge to have a lustful power. How utter embarrassing to our foreparents who fought so hard to give us, their children, a better democracy that we subsequently intend to destroy.
