How will we explain to future generations how this once great country was destroyed from within? In other words ....?

Question

How did a once great country that was founded on principles of equality and economic opportunity for ALL become a country led by a billionaire narcissist who conned a lot of people into voting for him and then ripped off the populist "mask" once elected and proceeded to demonstrate that he only cares about the wealthy and (already) privileged... a reality many of the more intelligent among us saw all along? What will we tell future generations about how such a travesty of traditional American values was allowed to happen? This country was founded in 1700s based upon principles of resisting oppression/economic enslavement by the rich and powerful, at that time the British Crown/absolute monarchy. This country was BUILT on the backs and very lives of "immigrants". Read your history. We are ALL "immigrants", unless you're pure Native American. The rest of the world has ALREADY turned its back on us in terms of our former leadership role. We used to be looked up to. No longer. How could this have happened?

Answer 1

First one has to realize that a person that hated this country for 2 terms put Trump in power by showing how much he hated the USA. He also wanted to put in someone that wanted to put in equality of outcome rather than equality of opportunity for ALL. An empty country can accept more immigrants. A good part of Mexico was built by immigrants as well why are they keeping out immigrants?

Answer 2

Wow. You are so filled with hate why don't you move to sunny Cuba or North Korea. Venezuela is nice. Those of us that voted for Trump are thrilled with what he has done to bring our economy back. The tax breaks for corporations so far has resulted in 200 thousand more jobs and going up. Fedex has put over 3 billion into raises, new jobs and bonuses. AT&T gave out 1000 dollar bonuses to all employees. Apple is bringing thousands of jobs in to America and so are many other companies. Your ignorance is forgivable since your obviously a liberal and they are known to be morons full of repeated talking points but no knowledge of reality.

Answer 3

Every generation has this battle to fight!

If you would take the time to study history and do some independent research you will find the concentration of money and power in the US has always been in the hands of a few.

What might be different is how some of the "old rich" become improvised and the "new rick" repeat the cycle.

To the theologian there is another reason for a country loosing its stature and that is they (the nation in general) for get God and glory in themselves.

Answer 4

Actually the Republicans have been setting it up since Nixon was forced to resign in disgrace.



That's part of the reason why they sold out the industrial base that employed tens of millions of people in high paying jobs. Another part was to destroy union political power which was the voice of the working class. Republicans knew unions would never support them. Part of it was also revenge for the civil war because it was the industrial base that defeated the Confederacy.





Want to talk about why Republicans helped Bush43 cover up the real facts about 9 11 attack?





All Trump's doing is accelerating the GOP agenda.

Answer 5

Wow, you sound terribly miserable...you should scream at the sky to feel better.
