America is unrecognizable.
Huge numbers of adults are fine with a politician abusing the judicial system by purchasing an indefinite delay of his day in court.
Citizens who should know better are OK with a candidate halting congressional action on the biggest issue in generations because he wants to muscle in on its solution.
People who have gone to law school, occupy offices of public trust, and express their opinions in public forums have so little understanding of our Constitution that they don’t know when it is being broken into pieces.
Those who serve jury duty, attend school board meetings and regularly honor the fallen on Memorial Day are wildly enthusiastic about having an indicted and even convicted felon, sexual predator and business fraudster running the county.
Those who claim to be color-blind have no qualms about responding to racist dog whistles.
Those who proudly graduated high school, served our country and supervise others at work couldn’t care less about natural science, preferring politicized science instead.
This is not our ancestors’ America.
