Where has our country gone?

So much hatred for one another that this country has no unity anymore. No, it was not Trump who started this, but he has magnified it to an extreme level where unity will never be part of our great country. The violence, the craziness and the hatred has pushed our country into an abyss. Yes, we have to learn from, but will those who have extreme views come to their senses? Probably not? We have a president who pardons people before they are even sentenced, which make makes a mockery of our judicial systems. We are told that we have no recourse for stopping a man who wants have is own government, run by is own family and own people. Yes, we do have a recourse, and it is called Congress and the Senate. It high time that these people do their jobs that we ELECTED them to do and begin to take our back from this monarchy pushing idiot. We need to have our voices heard and we will succeed, some day. Our country begs for normalcy and we should demand it. Those who fought and gave their lives to defend our independence, deserves better. Thank you letting me vent some more.

We must ACT and do it with strong, bold patriotism. Call, write, volunteer, donate time and money, join groups, etc to achieve the unified goal of defeating the GOP in 2018!
