I agree with everything you posted except for it being Trumps fault. I place the blame squarely on CONgress shoulders. They’re too busy trying to vote on condemning one thing or another instead of working on what’s best for Americans.
I don’t think this is fixable at this point in our country. If the criminals in DC don’t get off their collective asses and start actually doing things for the people who are citizens of this once great country, then this country will cease to exist. This will be partly due to republicans staying home. I can’t blame people for staying home when the BS artists who promised to fix things don’t even make an attempt other than posting propaganda on social media to get a rise out of people.
The only way to fix it is for the Rs to lose. When the Ds completely trash the economy some new Rs with real ideas and teh BALLS TO IMPLEMENT THEM will move to the front. Of course, this is assuming that the Rs get it together before it’s too late.
Term limits, full public financial disclosures starting day 1 of the campaign and in place throughout their term are a start. Time to put out the trash. Example: Cornyn keeps getting elected, but I know NO ONE who has actually voted FOR him.
