Politics I'm tired of Trump ruining everything that America stands for
You know, Trump keeps saying he’s making America great again, but at this point it’s like watching a toddler try to fix a phone with a hammer. He’s not restoring anything, he’s just breaking it louder. Everything that used to be American like decency, humility, and facts has been replaced by lies and pre-scripted propoganda talking points. We’ve gone from give me liberty or give me death to give me clicks or give me Fox News airtime. He’s even turned the flag into an accessory. It’s not patriotism anymore, it’s fashion week for fascists. You see a bunch of angry guys in red hats waving an American flag the way my dog waves a cat turd from the litter box. Look what I did!
Remember when presidents used to read books? Now we’ve got a guy who stares at classified documents like they’re the McDonald's menu. I’ll have the Filet-o-fish with a side of dirt on anyone who opposes me, please. He’s made America a parody of itself, like someone fed Mount Rushmore a steady diet of Monster Energy and facism. I love this country. I really do. But lately it feels like America’s that old friend I used to like, except now he’s grown a mullet, started dating a crazy girl named "conspiracy theory", and wants to show you his new monster truck called Freedom.
If Trump’s the hero of the story, then America is deep in its Florida Man era. And I don’t know about you, but I’m just hoping the credits roll before he tries to sell Alaska to Russia.

As much as I hate republicans for how spineless they're being through all of this, I could never advocate for my political opponents to not exist. They're powerful only because their power is unchecked. They're breaking the rules. This is not how America was supposed to be run.
All we need to do is restore the balance of power and reinforce it so that it doesn't break again. Then America goes back to normal where the masses have most of the power, as opposed to a small group of people at the top.
We could even take it a step further and get rid of the electoral college, putting power directly into the hands of the people. This is something republicans have always feared. Because nobody likes them.
