I don't know if this country is worth saving. I really don't. [View all]

Trump's victory speaks volumes about this nation's character which is not admirable. I don't know if fighting to take it back is worth it. The USA is not the only country in the world. There are others.

If I had children, I would be preparing them to think globally about their future. See to it that they learn at least one new language. Get them their passport and be open to working abroad instead of just relying on the US job market.

I don't like a majority of my fellow Americans right now, and I don't want to share a country with them.
