As jaded and sad as I am about how bad things are, it is at least shedding some light on problems we have had for a lot longer. Trump didn’t invent all of this, he just magnified it and drew attention to it. It is definitely possible that within my lifetime there comes a point where we start to change course. It will take generations to unwind and build something new and better, but I would be patriotic about moving in the right direction, even while we still have a long way to go.
