I’m afraid your post is accurate. It would be possible if we had some organized resistance. Once I had thought this thing called the “Republican Party” was the organized resistance, but I have been relieved of that notion since last November.
I still have hope, but if the nation is inaugurating another democrat or a Jeb Bush in 2017, that hope will vanish.
You are right about the “inward rot” in our society. A large chunk of younger people (under thirty) seem to be devoid of not only manners and intelligence, but spirituality and the merest care toward other people outside of their immediate circle. I am by no means talking about all of the people in that age group, but there is something very lacking in many of them.
Well said.
