The United States is supposed to be an effort toward a more evolved culture. No kings. No one above the law. That’s the ideal—freedom of speech, of the press, of religion, a country for all of us to be equal. Thousands have fought and died for this.

How did this vision get perverted into a front for rapacious capitalism? Or was it that way all along?

Time and again we have confronted waves of greed and division, but we have pulled ourselves up from those depths.

It is painful to see the bad guys win, to slide in with their buddies and cover stories to start raping and plundering through every government department and every principle, abandon all integrity and honor and holding no one responsible.

Will this disgrace on our nation’s promise bring about a renewal of all we stand for? Will common sense and the common good rise up in November to put the Trump regime to an end?

That is the hill I will die on.
