Are we great enough yet?



Over a million infected, over a hundred thousand dead.
Riots over racist cops.
National Guard troops keeping the peace.
News teams arrested.
An executive order limiting legal protections of social-media and other online platforms.

Trump has freedom in handcuffs and in a choke hold.
Most Republicans are standing around watching like those other cops at the scene in Minnesota.

Brings to mind a quote:
"Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men."
They say they're good but in my mind indifference and tolerance never equal good.
We need a Republican fire sale; everyone of them must go.

Are you better off today, than you were four years ago? Most Americans will say,
NO!
