I Do Not See How We Get Past This Mess. It Will Only Get Uglier From The Way Things Look.

We will have a shattered country by the time this situation all plays out. Trump will just make it worse and Pence will be no better. We have a very destructive situation with Trump supporters doubling down and getting meaner. I see NO remorse from any of them. Trumpets are just getting more pissed and the alt right, KKK and white supremacists will get more bold.

The most disturbing is how many had assault weapons. It is a miracle someone did not open fire with their assault rifles.

I have no idea why, but it just seems we end up going through this crap every so often. And we have ended up the better for it.

For a while, anyway.

We have had a bandage over a foul infection for a long time, at least the infection is obvious now and can't be denied.
