The American Dream is Disintegrating Under Trump

[Seedersandleechers]

It is all starting to break down now. Moral fibers that once wove the American spirit together are unraveling and disintegrating. Our team lost the baseball game, the Chevrolet won't start, and the apples in the pie are rancid. Any semblance of the American Dream is slipping into a nightmare of epic proportions, robbing our youth and future generations of the promise and hope they deserve. Of course that dream actually existed once, and for many it still does in a theoretical way, but the boundaries of acceptance in the United States have never been so far off track. Conversely, rather than moral boundaries, Americans now have a president who wants to wall his citizens inside of their own national border.

As the gloom settles over a frustrated American public, the violence between those who oppose and support Donald Trump is increasing, and video clips of bloody faces, tear gassed eyes, the whole enchilada… splash across social media sites. Recent clashes between anti-Trump and pro-Trump protesters turned radically violent last week in Berkeley, a California university town known for its left wing roots.

Antagonists from both sides contributed to the thuggish violence and other problems at the Berkeley pro-Trump protest. In a clear demonstration of what future days will bring, Anarchists descended into the crowds, instigating more violence which the two sides both decry. I have written about this in the past, and it becomes more clear by the day that the direction the US is moving in is very dangerous.

Supporters of Trump have many common attributes. Almost all of them are White. As a whole, they are against immigration, and particularly oppose those who entered the US illegally. Trump supporters consider themselves patriotic, and sport flags at their rallies, which of course angers those who fail to support and strongly resent Trump’s extreme right wing, money oriented politics in America. People on both sides of Trump are increasingly losing patience with each other and they are walking a potentially explosive path. What comes next? Gang warfare? Drive by shootings?

2. Correction: The American Dream Is Disintegrating Under The Repugs.....

Trump just happens to be their useful idiot. The Repugs are systematically dismantling everything in the USA. Health Care; immigration; schools; the environment - both physical and social; woman's rights; civil rights; etc.

They aren't creating jobs - they are setting us up for a negative job downturn that will this time take us into a recession. Costs for everything will go up - while the only ones that will be able to afford anything will be the top 1%.

This should and will hang on the backs of the Repugs.

I just don't understand how or why they can't see the damage that they are doing. One doesn't have to be an economist or a rocket scientist to realize this.

Somehow they need to be stopped.

Why aren't we hearing Dems or MSM painting this picture for us.

We all know this is happening right under our eyes - yet we're letting them get away with this.

This is more than - in the words of Trump - Sad or Bad. It is disgraceful.
