Day 123:
Donald Trump Is The Circus, A Distraction
Trump is a clown, and a distraction. He is the symptom of a problem that has been brewing for 30-40 years. The rich have rigged the system so they can continue to get richer every year, while the rest of us get screwed a little harder every year. The fact that we had two such horrible choices for president this year, last time, the time before, and the time before that is because the powerful interests don’t want things to change. I can only hope we have reached the limits to which people will put up with this shit, and that they start getting out there and voting for people who actually care about them and who will fight for change.
