I agree that our nation was in desperate need of change, and that the concept, on paper, of a "Non-Political" candidate had its attractive qualities.
Still, I am baffled by the utter lack of awareness that seems to have taken over our population. It's as if no one is able, or willing, to see the nature of our new POTUS. The darkness in him, and his completely empty soul and lack of compassion or empathy.
Have we become blinded by our own independent agendas? Are we really so self involved that we can't see where we are headed?
Hitler was also charismatic and offered a variety of solutions to a great many problems that had befallen Germany at the time. Still, however great his enthusiasm and public personality, his greed and lack of human compassion was more than enough to bring nearly an entire race to its knees. And, let's not forget the onset of WWII.
We are on the brink of disaster people, and it's simply not good enough to turn our backs and wait out the coming four years.
If we are not willing to set aside our selfish desires and ugly prejudices we will find ourselves alone picking up the pieces of our fallen nation from under our limbless bodies.
Granted, most will feel I have greatly exaggerated, however, I would much rather prepare for the worst and not need it than hope for the best and wander aimlessly through the streets alone, hungry and afraid.
Trumps promises have been appealing to many, and I agree that his promises can be tempting. But if we are willing to look the other way while thousands of people who have struggled to pull themselves up from the trenches are thrown back into the pit, we are no better than any of our great evil villains in history.
LBJ and his administration fought and clawed to save the Civil Rights Act from being thrown out, so that we might have a chance at a better world. The America I know and love has no interest in the sabotage of women's rights, gay rights, black rights, Muslim rights... and so on.
Let's come together. Don't let the hard work of our predecessors be for naught.

I'm not sure how protecting the motherland (would you let just anyone into your home??) and wanting to bring jobs back to America (lack of jobs and self worth of "our people" aka Americans has brought a lot crime and misdeeds to this country, hence the reason for more people in prison system) is considered "greed and lack of human compassion". Do we really want to be like Europe and have people invade our countries with no regard for our directives. Laws are the buttress to any home, country, continent etc, without laws any home, country, continent will fail and fall.
"The brink of disaster"? It certainly did not happen because of President Trump being in office for 21/2 weeks. "Brink of disaster" comes from years of preceding misdeeds (whether purposefully or not) by our government.
"People pulling themselves out of the trenches"? Maybe these people ought to learn to fight for their own country instead of being like the "subjects" aka people here who wish for someone else aka taxpayers to take care of them. Learn to take responsibility for oneself instead of blaming everyone else and expecting everyone to take care of them.
It sounds to me that the "America you know" is from the Media and Academia (which has been encroaching itself upon our children for the past 40 years).
Hopefully redundancy doesn't set in as I do recognize I said earlier maybe in little different wording that I think it is always advisable to try to look at the "opposing side" after any major occurrence in politics to see if there might be something that can be incorporated into our thinking/viewpoint as I do recognize that all sides have good and bad theories to factor into any and all critical thinking.
That all being said, I do respect your thought and being able to put to paper in such a succinct manner without putting anyone else views down. Keep up the good
work young lady. :-)
