These sort of problems are only a tip of the iceberg with this country. The government has morphed into a government for the rich and powerful. It's tax money collected from the working middle class are used for military complex to spend on endless wars and weapons of wars, etc.
Any social programs to help the poor and needy are labeled socialism programs. But yet billions are are spend on the military with no questions ask, why is that?
I questioned my Republican voting co-workers, aren't you tired of wars? Their answer: as long they are "safe", they are willing to spend billions more. This is the sort of mindset those of us who are a little more mindful are dealing with.
As I got older, I realized why the electoral college was set up at first. To keep the masses from voting the rightful person into office. Whoever "controls" the electoral college electors will always be the ones putting whoever they want in office. I see this country splitting between the rich and the poor in 20 years fighting for resources. There will be a huge class warfare coming...you got the right-wing, Trump thumbing people gearing up for such a war already. Preppers online, off the grid people are all aware of this coming for a long time. All you need to do is go on youtube to see what I'm talking about... people buying tons of guns, ammos, storing food underground. This is the other side of reality most of us do not realized happening right now.
