The only way I can see real change in the U.S. is through massive campaign and election reform to the degree that we have multiple, viable candidates to choose from (at all levels) and THEN we can vote for the best leaders at any given time. The money (special interests, corporate donors etc) has to come out of politics. But I don’t see that happening either sadly.
Necessity is the mother of invention and we are in a time of dire necessity. There are times in history where people have risen to the occasion, and there are times where that hasn't happened. I see Trump having a galvanizing effect on the nation. He's a liar and it won't take long for many of the people who voted for him to realize it. That presents an opportunity. The situation appears grim but appearances can be very misleading.
The fool believes there is nothing more than what he sees and thinks he knows. Be wise and never forget that what we see/know is minute in comparison to what we don't see/know. The people that appreciate that are the people that never give up, and evil only wins out when people give up.
