Admitting We Made A Mistake

We picked a bad president.  I'm not saying that the alternative was any better, but we made a big mistake.

If you have a nation of 319 million people, you can't just get elected president and do whatever you want.  Donald Trump knows this.  He is not as stupid as he appears.  But, he also knows that if he tells 100 million voters that he is going to make their lives better, 52 million of them aren't going to take the time to figure out if what he says is true and they'll just vote for him and hope for the best.  That, in a nutshell, is why we're in the situation we're in today.

What we're seeing today is an assault on our way of life.  You may think that it doesn't apply to you, but think again.  For example, take a look at your tax returns.  You've paid a shit ton of money in Medicare taxes during your working life and now our Republican Congress is saying that you may not deserve to get that money back when you retire.  But, the insurance executive who runs the company that is supposed to pay you some of that money is getting a tax break.  How is this right?  They're not going to pay you back the money you've been paying in for 40 years, but the insurance company CEO is getting an $8 million dollar bonus, this year.  And he's paying less in taxes than you are.  Seriously, does that sound right?

Folks, the person we've elected president has lied to us.  He's scammed us and we fell for it.  It's time to just admit we made a mistake, fix it, and then move on.  There's no shame in that.  There is, however, shame in realizing we made a mistake and still continuing to insist that we made a good choice.  That is just wrong and it's going to bite us in the ass.
