I am writing this so I will remember the events in the months and years to come. I feel we have been living in a simmering pot, never really coming to grips with the issues related to the Civil War. The overwhelming racism in our country is number one. We elected Barack Obama as our President and that lit the cigarette that started a slow burn. The majority of our country felt safe enough to express their views the LBGTQ community wanteded rights they felt they had always deserved rightly so along with Women not tolerating sexual harassment at home or in the workplace. For many men this was turning their world upside down. Then along came a man Donald Trump who would set everything back- the world could be set right again plus he would give them their jobs back. Some Americans thought these " groups " they didn't understand would be shoved back in the closet, minorities could be handled as usual along with women.
So much has happened first of all Donald Trump somehow got voted president of the United States future generations will look back at this time and wonder we were thinking. We elected a very dangerous narcissist who complicates our lives. At this present time he is in a "word battle" with the president of North Korea which I hope does not escalate into a nuclear war.
During the time of the election Democrats nominated Hillary Clinton and I thought she was the best person for the job. She was a strong woman who unfortunately was married to Bill Clinton those two factors I feel kept her from being elected my own mother-in-law did not vote for her because she was married to Bill Clinton. Madeline did not vote in the election as many other democrats did not vote which caused Donald Trump to win. We have the world we have because people were complacent they just didn't care now we have to deal with a man at the top that has no business being president and has ties to the Russian Government that may or may not have influenced the election.
The Trump family is more interested in shoring up that business profits during his election years then running the Government.
There is a great deal of nepotism that goes on, his daughter is in his cabinet his son-in-law and his son are helping to run the government his friends are in positions of power it's just a very corrupt structure.
To get elected he courted the Nationalist party and the KKK so they now feel that their voice is being heard and they can come out of the woodwork as we saw in Charlottesville.
"This Week on Washington Week: The aftermath of white nationalist protests in Charlottesville
Every once in a while, an event strikes at the core of American society. The Charlottesville, Virginia protest that turned into a violent melee is one of those defining moments.
White nationalists gathered for the "Unite the Right" rally ostensibly to protect a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. However, over the course of two days, tiki torch-carrying participants shouted racist and anti-Semitic messages and clashed with counter-protestors. It made people question America’s values. It sparked debates about racism, anti-Semitism, justice, and the power to conquer hate. It united a community in song to honor the people killed. And it tested America’s leaders.
