RE: The Transformation of 'Murica
Thanks! The general mood in this country is the darkest it's been in my life. There's a true feeling of hopelessness, especially among the young. The system has been completely hijacked by the ultra wealthy and the corporations and makes people feel powerless. People are so frustrated and thirsty for change and that it's created an environment where someone like Trump can be elected President.
You nailed the root of the problem...decades of apathy. At the very least I hope more people are paying attention now, educating themselves, and getting involved in creating a better future.
Trouble is - in my opinion - that so many expect someone else to come in and do their work for them. Which is why they rarely educate themselves or pay attention, I'm afraid. They expect ready made answers such as here's candidate X and he's gonna solve all your problems. People try to break free and to change things, but the trouble is there are often smart rich people who know how to take advantage of that and manipulate the crowd in a direction that works for them...:/
So true @honeydue! We need to “Make People Think Again”! #MPTA
