For people who are struggling, this is a bad time. A
depressing time. A time lacking compassion. Justice. Equality. Trump and all of
Washington have betrayed our trust and no longer serve as public servants,
sworn to uphold our right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” as
stated in the Declaration of Independence. They have all become doorkeepers for
the rich. Gate keepers at the country club. Servants pandering to the needs of
their owners, who buy them with their billions; allow them to serve as long as
they please; hire them later to become lobbyists; and when they die, proclaim
them as heroes and saviors of democracy and capitalism. It is an odd perversion
of democratic government.
