13. Germany had problems that Hitler exploited, America has problems tRump is exploiting

We as a nation need to start looking at solving the problems which tRump is exploiting. I can understand why these people are frustrated.

Many Americans are poorly educated for several reasons. There is a huge disparity in quality of education between rich and poor areas. There is a huge wage gap between working Americans and the CEO / upper management class. Healthcare can be difficult to obtain if you're poor.

I believe Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders have begun to shed light on these issues, now we need to get Democratic majorities in Congress so we can start doing something about these problems.
