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.
